There is a bit of humming noise coming out of the Toroidal transformer on the 2 units I ordered.

excellent CD player, extremely low noise, even audiophiles will like it.

Thus, while some take it to be the true revelation, others believe the extra nuances and "new things" many have sworn they hear on SACD's are in fact nothing more than the nonlinear ringing (induced by that brutal noise shaping filter) and aliasing of that not-quite-random high frequency noise leaking into the audio band

did not work right out of the box, would not open to put cd in tray and made horrible grinding noise!

The laser inside makes some funny noise like crickets when is scanning or playing the disc

, there is a very brief electrical "pop" or static noise.

The design is sleek, easy to set up and operate, and possesses a speedy response time compared to my 5-carriage, Sony hunk-o-junk that stopped working properly in under two years

It also seemed to skip on perfectly good CD’s...which really surprised and annoyed me
