*UPDATE* 5 Nov 2012
It showed up today via FedEx (it took six days) in a box with foam padding. The case was wrapped in bubble wrap
The name of the company is embossed on the case. When you open it, you are presented with the player, A/C adapter, 1/8" to 1/4" adapter,
and documentation.
There is a trifold English manual that needs to have the translation fixed. It conveys the info, but falls short in some areas.
Along with a Warranty card and contact number card in Chinese and an info brochure...
For accessories, you have to pry the block of foam the A/C adapter is in (it was a chore) and they are below...
I was worried how the 1/8" line out and COAX sockets could work with RCA plugs but fortunately an 1/8"-to-RCA adapter is included.
The instructions also inform you how to use the adapter for the COAX digital-out. There's also a nice optical and USB cable.
The player itself was completely sealed in a plastic bag. After opening it, I noticed it was covered with a light oil which easily wiped off.
I read some posts about dust under the display glass, rattling sounds (attributed to the control buttons), and mismatched/misaligned assembly.
However, the unit I received had none of those problems. It's a solidly built little unit!
I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, so I will post my impressions of how it operates and sounds later and further along the thread.
Cheers!
