Opera Audio Consonance ref 2.2 owners?

I just purchased an new Consonance 2.2. I am in the break in stage at this point. I like to get some feedback from some current owners if I could. What you really think of this player? Mine sounded horrible when first turned on.
Seems to be warming up nicely though.
I bought by the reviews I have been reading out here. All seem so positive. So far, the only complaint I have is they claim it has a solid cherry top. Mine has that light colored European hardwood that so many kitchen tables seem to be made of these days. Do any of you others owners have the same?

Thanks for any replies in advance.

I would also like to include. I see the remote that comes with this unit as having one button that mirrors the control on the player. My remote is silver about the size of a deck of cards. It has many tiny black buttons that control the functions. I was not aware of this remote. Does anyone have the same?

Thanks again.

I found out today that the silver remote is the new one. It replaces the black one. I also found out the wood on the top is correct. Just a real light cherry type wood used.
Still like to hear from any owners on how their "burn in" went.

Thanks.

First I would like to thank all of you that replied.
I was considering the Prima before the ref 2.2. I read the reviews, spoke to a sales person that sells both to get a his opinion and went with the ref 2.2. I should also add, I was considering a Cary 308T.

As far as the player goes, I find myself listening for 3/5 hours an evening. Weekends, as much as 10 hours a day. It just keeps me wanting more! I think it is wonderful. I actually have been changing the music I listen to. Hard rock just doesn't do the player any justice. Must admit, rock does sound so much better than ever did before. Bass is so deep and voices are right about where they should be. This player sounds better than any turntable I have ever heard or owned. I am very happy with it. Although, I noticed the smell of burnt plastic lately, maybe it is part of the "burning in process"? I also notice any defects on my cd's the player seems to have problems with. Other than that I love it! I was told it takes about 100 hours to burn in, I notice here that it may take up to 300. I guess I am about half way there.
I highly recommend this player.
I would also like to add, I have very inexpensive interconnects on my system. I think they are like 6 year old $30.00 monster cable's from like best buy.
In time, I like to send a reply and see what cables you owners prefer with this player, as that be my next upgrade.
I just can't believe for what my system consist of, how nice it sounds.

Thanks again!!
