I have made the following modifications to my PD65: changed cheap RCA connector with a better one. added another transformer for seperate +5V. Increased power supply capacitance for all voltages. Added EMI filter. Shorten clock wire. Added dampening materail to chassis. Changed diodes. Added a much of bypass caps. changed 75 Ohm resistor to higher quality. The PD 65 is used a transport with a Genesis Digital Lens. RW
Pioneer PD-59/PD-65 as Transport.Mods ??
Do any of you know of the Pioneer PD-59 or PD-65 being used as a transport to feed an outboard DAC?...and with that, of any modifications to do any of the following...detatchable power cord, upgraded coax out/internal wire, disconnecting the audio section and/or the toslink out. Seems that this is the basic transport that Wadia and others have used that should be able to be modified into an excellent low priced transport. Thanks
