Also should note that inside my unit I can see the capacitors have a '1' written on them with what looks to be a permanent marker - could this be a refurbed unit? I may sound paranoid and OCD here but there's something else I've noticed - if I mute the sound and turn the volume up to max the...

Hello Rich, thanks for the response. The headphones that show up noise from the Marantz are Musical Fidelity MF 100 headphones.
