All of them still doing well but all need warming up time to make their minds up and "come back" to play (perfectly so far).

I didn't want to like it at all, but it sounded just fine to me. I was surprised. Been through a few since then, and am stubbornly holding on to an older Cayin CD22 with tubed output. Whatever it does right, I simply cannot beat it. But now days, it's glitchy and I pray it doesn't die.
