Was just reportin' on what I read; it is kinda embarassing, though, when you see what's in the Oppos/Cambridge and Panasonic compared to the Reavons...I expect that all these units of similar size are mostly empty space. Filling the space with a larger circuit board doesn't mean it is somehow higher quality. A larger board may result in slightly better heat disappation because components my be further apart, but I doubt it would have any particular impact on the longevity of the unit. I suppose a larger board could reduce the possibility of problems developing due to solder migration.
It's like this:
Compared to this:
The Cambridge CXUHD looks a bit stingy inside compared to its Oppo cousin probably because the unit drops the analog outputs and associated hardware...
Just guessing, though.
