Kenwood DP 2000 CD upgrade

[Saki_zg]

Hi all ,

I've got this player recently and I must say I'm impressed with it.
The case is made of brushed aluminium, about 10kg total weight.
Critical vibration places are already damped, and I'm really happy with how it's made.

It's in perfectly good condition, plays and reads very well, even CDs with hard scratches.

I want to get the maximum out of it and obviously need you're help

From where to start? What to do ?

I'm finishing Aleph P1.7 and Aleph 5 so It would be nice to have a CD player with balanced output too....

Pictures, Service manual and some general spec will follow in a few minutes
