The initial device shipped was not factory new and had a bad power adapter. Amazon made a timely replacement with a new, working unit.Setup took only minutes and 45 minutes later I had an LP converted to FLAC files. My initial listen is that there is a minor sacrifice made in the analog-to-digital conversion. But, (a) this is NAD quality circuits and (b) the opinion is subjective as I do not have test equipment to do a real comparison. For the quality/value, the prices is very reasonable compared to McIntosh or Music Hall.
