Add another disappointed PD customer. Used to own the MPS5 and transport was noisy as hell.
To their credit, they did inspect it by an engineer in Germany (twice with no resolution), but for me the MPS5 was a failed design: the outer casing is way too thin and flaky for it to manage the heavy and noisy Esoteric transport. Unless you put it away in an airtight closet or 20m away from your listening position, it will drive anyone nuts.
Had a K01 and noisy transport was much better isolated and i couldnt complain.
AMR service is stellar and their machines are one of the best build in the business. Sound is also impressive, though no DSD support for the moment.
