ups delivered today, started at about 7, everything was up and running in about 20 minutes, including downloading the server software.
have had zero glitches, listening to radio streamed over the net right now....have been listening to cd's i ripped this past week.
yes, the battery compartment door is a little flimsy but not too bad, everything is solid when you get it back in place.
there is no delay, i select a different ripped album, it starts instantaneously.
sound quality will be assessed over the next few days, so far so good however.
