Hi....
I was trying to focus on how easy the player was to set up, not an outright review of the product. But, I will say that I recently reconnected with a song I LOVED when I was in my early 20s, "Roundabout" by Yes. That was the song I mentioned in the article that I bought on Amazon and got it on to the AK70 with no problems. So, I will approach your question from that angle....listening to that song on this player transported me back to those days, listening to Yes on my record player, and being so enthralled with the sound. It is magical in that respect. All the other bands I mentioned, hearing them on this player allows a close connection, it's easy to drift away. I hope that helps!

Thanks Mercer! You're the man!

I haven't really checked out the Tidal options yet, but one of these days!

I'm the worst of them all, so thanks for the vote of confidence and mostly plain English about the ease of use, setup and sound quality. My only question is how did the increased sound quality make you FEEL different? Are you connecting emotionally to the music better? Does it steal your breath, squeeze your heart more and jelly your knees because you're hearing more of what the artist created with a broader audio/emotional range?
