The sound quality is incredible. However, there are two defects: the first is that it produces an incredible amount of heat, even when in standby mode, and will damage any varnished surface on which it is placed. I don't know where in the design this defect was missed. The second problem is that using the stereo output for headphones does not suppress the internal speaker, so it cannot be used to listen quietly. The headphones give stereo sound but your neighbours will not be happy since the pounding bass will continue. I bought this and at first I loved it. The sound quality is incredible.
