I still have a couple of unused Squeezebox Touch sitting in a box as backups so still using it, I did however sell off a Logitech Transporter, also use a combination of Apple Music and a Pro-ject Stream DS+ and DSA model and sometimes my Oppo 205 or direct from my Marantz AV8802a, also Toying with the idea of eventually buying an over priced Bel Canto Stream player one day. JDH

A used bel canto CD2 with upgrade external LNS1 power supply is what I use. JDH

I owned the original reference and currently own the same version in this add with the older speaker posts and have to say it sounds better than the Elektra 7 ch HD, great price for the quality of this amp. JDH

Considering you own the Marantz AV8805, you may as well buy the ub9000 just to match the overall build quality. JDH

If you read through the link about warranty it’s non-transferable anyway to the 2nd owner. JDH

What does the Panasonic UB 9000 bring to the table as extra features or quality that is missing in the OPPO 205, sorry but I haven’t been able to figure it out from some of the earlier posts, just interested in knowing? JDH

Ok, I guess time will tell, for those interested in this unit, I’ve had my 8802a for a year now, 100% reliable, easy to setup and use and sounds great. JDH

I wouldn’t get to excited about the 15% off, this eBay seller Is a regularly part of a group of sellers that have 20% off sales anyway, more than likely would be even cheaper later in the month. JDH

Thanks for the reply, I thought you may want to split it to be able to make it easier to sell the 8802a at a slightly lower price to someone that does not want to use the kit. Good luck with the sale. JDH

Let me no if you want to sell the Audyssey pro kit and licence separately, I already have a Marantz AV8802a and was thinking of buying the kit used. JDH

I’ve had no problem with my Oppo 205 I purchased new just over 12 months ago, I agree not much out there to replace it with that is equivalent, I could downgrade to the Panasonic 9000, but what’s the point. Touch wood, I hope I get the same reliable service out of the Oppo 205 that I got from my Oppo 95 (had it over 6 years) and on sold it for $450. JDH

Probably outside your budget but I use a Panasonic GX9, it came with a 12-32mm kit lens for about $950 new, I guess it would be about $750 used on eBay, otherwise one of the older models like the Panasonic GX7 or GX85. I ended up buying a 15mm f1.7 prime lens and a better 14-42mm pancake type zoom lens for the GX9 and sold the original 12-32mm lens that came with it, so you can upgrade it as needed and budget allows. JDH

Great all in one Panasonic lumix camera, unfortunately I already own a Panasonic G9 and GX9 cameras and a number of lenses. Good luck with the sale. JDH

The 717 brings back some memories, my first decent at the time hi-end DVD player of the late 1990’s !!! JDH

Great little pre amp, I use one with a Bel Canto CD2 and Ref 500s amp. It also has a HT bypass feature on one of the inputs that is handy for integrating into a HT setup for 2ch listening, very reliable too. JDH
