The 950 and 960 are two completely different players. Don't trust the numbers
Hi Bricolo,
From your reply, it's worth to have a 960, I think.
I heard so much abt 960, some says it's the best; some says it's out-dated & no analysis.
Would you mind to tell more abt it?
Thanks & happy listening!

I can't tell you much about this player, I never heard one myself. But I've only read good things about it (except that the laser isn't available if it dies
)I just wanted to precise that the 950 and 960 aren't similar, and aren't in the same products line (the 960 is much older). I've also been fooled by the numbers at the beginning

I personally did not think so. Had a new one;sounded very digital; upfront and 1-D.
Pooged it; PCB badly made; tracls came off easily (I am experienced in modding); never sounded that grade.
Most newer CD will beat it.

I`m using a DAC from Audio Synthesis called DSM with an external
powersupply called ASP-02,it sounds perfectly analog to me.
I have only used Coaxial out and i also heard it is better than
Toslink.Soon there will be some tweeks on my DSM also i think.
Have a nice weekend You too.

I've been reading a lot of treads around this forum, but I can't find an answer to my (current... ) question....
In the site regarding the CD-PRO2M ( http://www.daisy-laser.nl/homeoptics/index.html ) it says that: <The CD-PRO2M is the advised upgrade for the CDM12 industrial and the CD-PRO.
The CD-PRO2M is soft and hardware backwards compatible.>
Is there a player I could get that easily would accept this unit ?
(eventually defect !?)
Seems to be a good one !?

Is the CD960 a bad player ?
Hi,
I have two pieces of CD960, one modded and one in original condition. Both read CD rom without problems, so lasers are good.
Both did not show good performance when tested with analyzer.
Now I thought they have bad 1541...

Today I soldered a socket in the modded CD960 to test a few 1541 and the first three of them all were bad and all showed same symptoms, harmonics looked pretty the same on all of them.
This made me wonder and I tested one of the chips in a CD880, it was much much better.
I do not believe that there is something defective because both CD960 have the same problem, I will put a socket into the other one to be sure.
When I measured chips before, there was no difference between 304mkII, CD650, CD880.

Ok, socket in the other CD960, tested 1 chip in CD584 cheap plastic player, CD880 and both CD960.
CD880 is a little better than CD584 but both CD960 are very bad.
As mentioned before CD650 and CD304mkII have been equal to CD880.
How you judge layout of those other players ?
Maybe it is the green decoupling caps ?
Spectra of each CD960 looks very different, but same layout...
