Well I just got my D-5 in the mail. Got it from ebay about 10 days ago. It came with everything pictured: stock phones, wallwart, and D-5. Unit is very heavy and impressive to look at. Having never seen one in person (that I can recall), it looks much better in person that the pictures can describe. As Duncan's review describes, there is no internal battery for this unit.
The sound is very nice. Let's say it's my new source and replaces my D-EJ925. Have the line out into META42 into 4S. Duncan describes the volume correctly, loud. Turned the META volume knob down a tad to get my normal listening level. I'm going to be listening to more cds but currently have The Chicago Transit Authority playing.
Had a question for other D-5 owners. When you press the open button, is the door suppose to unlatch then open up all the way? Mine clicks open and they I have to manually lift up the door past a "click" to fully open it. Do you think I need to lube the hinges?
Also, would it be expensive to get a manual and the external battery pack Duncan mentioned? Any links would be appreciated.
Anyway, I'm loving this sound.
