I'm Dennis.
From all that has happened so far Bev, it really looks like things are good for you, and it will stay.
It is really reassuring when little difficulties occur, but each is dealt with well, and confirms the quality of equipment and the reputation of the company, then, consolidation occurs.

Before the 390 posts are up can anyone tell me why the 390 gets rather warm? I've not owned a cd player before that gets so toasty..

Maybe that's why Martin
Never before had a cd player that got remotely warm

All the best stuff gets hot.
Got to throw away the dud electrons in the form of heat. It's a quantum thang
I don't know about that Justin but certainly the 390 does get warm
I'm sure I read somewhere that it operates in Class A... whatever that is in a cd player... I've no idea

All of my Mark Levinson gear runs warm - some of it, the Class A monoblocks, actually run hot; so hot you cannot really touch the heatsinks for any length of time.

Yeah I was looking for that in the Stereophile review Bev, but it wasn't mentioned in my quick skim over it ...
Maybe it has a class A output stage.
I did smile when they were comparing it to my long gone MF Tri-Vista SACD, though. Looks like it is at about the same level as that. Which was pretty good. Class A+ rated I believe.
I prefer my Lampi to the MF, but it isn't a technically good DAC IMHO. It is just flexible and fun to play with and subjectively sounds very good indeed.
