That's nonsense, and if you care to read you own statement, paying attention to 'working', 'wages' and 'paid', you'll know it. Ready to apologise?

After a few years of ditching CDs and enjoying home streaming less I’m considering buying a modest CD player again. Anyone out there have experience of the Fiio DM13? It seems to tick most of the boxes for me

If you don't want me, set me free

Don't you know which clothes even fit me?
Should I stay or should I go...
