Lots of good stuff on this...do a google search for (Sony Playstation for a cd player)
There are a few more very interesting. This one is from a company who make a CD player based on the PS1 http://www.avataracoustics.com/dynavox/dynastation2.php. and this other is from a German audiophile who did a great job modifying his unit and transforming it into a hi-end unit http://www.methe-family.de/cd.htm.
i just bought one on ebay to try whilst my CDP is sent off for repairs. looking forward and will report back.

in the meantime, how do i upgrade the power cord? or i am stuck using the basic kettle cord?
Yep, I hate to admit it but it's for real.

Here are my impressions of it ...

Here's a highlight from my posting:

"I think if I were a digital designer, I'd use this thing as my benchmark. I mean if I can't design a mega-bucks player to sound better than a stupid Sony Playstation 1 then why bother?"

I was re-reading what I wrote and I love that line (patting self on back)
