I'm sticking with my modded PS1s  Please, try a cheap ~20,-Eu based TDA1541 Player, Nonos-Mod and OPA2134 ( ~5,-EU) as Outputstage .... your PS1 will be unemployed soon. Carsten |

Malcolm, do please tell us more about your modded ps-1s... You use the plural... why? Do they keep dying? Or are they inserted in different systems around the place?  |

To be fair about the Wadia 3200 in the last link, it was one of Wadias earliest offerings and was far eclipsed by anything after. It was to be a player to add when they were basically only offering the Wadio 2000 DAC. The only other "economy" series was the 20/26 which was a highly altered Japanese circuit board design running Wadia's "spline algorythm" software (as do all the others) which is no small deal as it more accurately reconstructs a sine wave in the DAC sections. The only down side to the spline algorithm based software is a pretty solid brickwall filter slightly below 20KHZ (around 17 KHZ if I remember correctly).
Most of those machines are older than your PS-1 anyway Malcolm!

To find out more about modding a PS1 you should look here. Perform all the mods and have an amazing CD player for peanuts! |

Please let me build a system that is a bit forgiving on what I find in thrift shops for a handful of pennies and still is able to deliver the goods on good pressings.

Aah, I see. It is a DAC chip, I'll whip the covers off my CD players and see what is underneath.

check this list of TDA 1541 CDPs from pink fish... http://www.pinkfishmedia.net/forum/showthread.php?t=51285&highlight=tda1541
I have a Naim cd3 which i have to say suits me just fine.
No major digital induced headaches yet.... although i still prefer vinyl by a country mile. Truth be told, no contest at all.

Jon has provided one of the main links to Mick's PS1 site - there is also a huge thread on diyAudio: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=765100Plural coz I've bought lots of them to play with - gives me loads of parts and little worry if I break something. |

When purchasing my Promitheus TVC and his active preamp stage I got 5 Phillips NOS TDA 1541 chips in the deal. I thought I might 'Lampizator' (great stuff I am sure) but meanwhile feel at home with my micromega Duo.Pro (Bitstream) when I'm too lazy to warm up Dan Wrights' output stage...
What I want to say, ask, anybody interested?
