Chassis for CD-Pro2 transport - Page 6

Erik,
Just for your info in case you want to use the I2S with the Buffalo....
It won't work as the I2S format output from the CDPRO is not accepted by the Buffalo (maybe do a search at the TP forum for details). You will need some kind of reclocking circuit between the CDPRO and the Buffalo (like the Metronome sold by TP).
Nic

jleaman,
The price is 480US$ with snail mail. Worth the money. Great chassis and very good component quality. Quite a bit of a puzzle assembling it and also some smd solder work involved.

I don't have any more photos at the moment. I'm in the (slow) process of assembling the unit. I'm changing quite a deal in the electronics to make it absolute top (mostly PSU mods). There are some pictures in this thread and tons of pictures on the vendors site.

Below find the links I got by mail but you can find a lot of additional pictures as essentially the same chassis/circuit is used in other of their kits:

Here is for the assembly Instructions:

Thanks Nic, Im still thinking too much analog

Just upgraded the on power supply board clock to this one... Separate power supply and divider circuit just for the clock. I use the HIFIDIY 16.9mHz crystal. WOW.....

The Power supply board clock was an improvement over the CD-Pro on board clock...but this off board clock/power supply is even better....

I almost bought one of these kit's however the seller of the company had me emailed 40 times a week and it drove me nuts, GRR!!

I have recently upgraded my cd-pro2 chassis :

-used the clock upgrade from the link listed above + extra toroid
-made 2 TP shunt's for 5V & 9V supply
-removed the non used parts from the powerboard.
-only using i2s for data to TP metronome + B2 DAC

It looks simple but it was a lot of work, specially because here is little space.
result : solid, easy, wide, pure sound

your local diy-addict, Erik.

I will be ordering the Mini cd pro kit soon but I would like to use the best possible parts.

Has anyone got the circuit diagram available so I can choose the parts to upgrade ?

Thanks, Alex.

You get the schematics from the seller, they're in the kit.
