I would like to add that I bought my player from carplayer.com at the beginning of the firesale (when it was unsure if the sonicblue website was actually taking orders) and I was very satisfied with the outcome. Yes, the price is higher. To the complainers: how much is your Empeg worth to you? Would you sell your spare or main unit for less than the amount he is asking for?

Remember, this is still less than the retail price of the Empeg.
