Right channel becomes noisy after a couple of hours of use. The tech at the US distributor thinks it's the DAC board. Cost of a new board is $100. From what I can tell, there is no soldering involved in changing the board -- should take about 1/2 hour to install.
I don't want to throw the player away if someone can make use of it. I have the orginal box, manual and remote. Pay for the shipping and it's yours.
