I've owned a PD65 for about six years. It's a classic! Reliable, great remote and most important great sound, although a touch bright. Recently bot a Wadia 850 because of "Stereophile" recommendations. It was definitely not worth the price difference. PD65 looks better and has a better remote. You don't give up much on sound either.
