I use it for almost a year, the hit is very close to turntable and I think it is easily the best cd deck on this point, the value is very average and with the experience I would do not have that choice, this board is full of bugs and failures are known to be deplored (introduction of the system eats disk (went back and IN / OUT), HS motor (vibration back and forth before final shutdown of the engine; power transistors surely HS), digital noise on the cds (preventing a new software update "UPDATE ERROR" and any audio utlisation drinking ...), and an annoying bug when refitting the shelf a very significant acceleration of the motor after a stop of the disk by hand. Personally I think having a sufficient panel of failures on the same plate to say that this board I am not trustworthy, then it will take a turn for service and resale.
