Denon DCD-1450

[error0]

I own a Denon DCD-1450 cd-player. I thought it would be a good victim for my fist attempt at modding.

Does anyone know anything about this player? It seams to be a unknown model.
Any suggestions for mods?

Unknown? It's well known model based on wery well Burr-Brown chips PCM1702. I modded it. I built a new tube analogue stage. There are some pictures:

Got a 1550 for some months now
Not yet found any reason to mod it

Nice work, McGyver
