Adam I notice that you have a Pioneer 747 which I assume is quite a few years old. I have the same model which thanks to Squeezebox has rarely been used. But despite that the unit has been quite unreliable, required out of warranty repair for failure to play discs and recently the remote control only accepts on/off commands. Have you had similar reliability issues with your unit? Or is it really fully unused? I am pondering whether to acquire a last of the line universal player or repair+upgrade the Pioneer. -- agentsmith SB2, Pioneer DV-S733A, Benchmark DAC1, Naim Nait 5i, Naim Ariva Speakers.
