CD player modifications

I have a Shanling S-100 Mk II that I would like to upgrade and, since I have an electronics background and like to do my own work, was wondering if there are any modification kits available for this unit. Since I would be replacing the caps in the signal path was also wondering what are considered to be the best sounding polypropylene capacitors.

Thanks David12 - I was looking to do something more than merely upgrading caps.

I had my CDT 100 modded progressively as I watched and reclocking did much more than throwing upgraded caps at it. I used a Trichord 4 clock+never connected power supply. Trichord I am sure will advise on fitting them.

I changed the REL caps in my ARC LS-15 preamp to TRT Dynamicaps. Huge improvement. You can contact Michael Percy for parts and advise. Michael is a pleasure to deal with.

If no one gives you a response here, try the DIY forums of both the pinkfishmedia.net and head-fi.org sites. I'm sure there is something fun and very worthwhile you can try, I am unfortunately not the man to guide you. I feel proud if I plug in my toaster successfully.
