Yes they did mention the unexpected demand causing delays! Was originally just upgrading my Streamer to Signature, so thought l'll do the CD as well as the offer was on. Do live a fair traveling distance from any hi-fi & audio shop so though I'll do it in one go. Thought I risk the wait, did get the streaner back in 4weeks, was optimistic getting it back with the CD player - but never happened! Am now kept busy with ripping part of my 2000 CDs into Flac from a single drive PC while I wait for the CD player to arrive. Just didn't realise the wait would be over 6 weeks!
