- How long have you been using it?

I bought in April 2005. Broken in August 2006 and repaired by the dealer. Broken again a few months latter.

Broken for good since yesterday.

Detailed information about the problem: eject button doesn't work properly, CD tray doesn't open, CDs don't always play.

- Which feature do you like the most / the least?

Very good sound.

- Did you try any other models before buying it?

Mainly Denon and Nad I could buy with my budget

- How would you rate its value for money?

Bad because of the reliability problems I had.

- Based on your experience, would you buy this product again?

I don't think so... I'm very disappointed by its reliability but I still haven't found a device that sounds better in this price range. For example, I tested today a Nad C515 and the sound quality didn't convince me. And I don't want to buy a new one every three years...

Summary: I love how it sounds but it is not reliable at all.
