Some pictures my Playstation 5502. I've used cap coupling is WIMA MKS4 4,7uF with resistor 18K ohm.

Nice tidy job there vuthanh6. Is that case painted or one of the replacements you can buy?
3 buttons... Play, Stop Pause?

Can one just use a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM?

I have used a CD-ROM mounted in an extrenal bay on occasion and it sounds great!

Yesterday I had my first audio session. The counterparts were PS1 scph-1002 vs. Panasonic DVD-S75.

Software:
- Diana Krall - The girl in the other room (tr.2,3,4)
- Patricia Barber - Nightcafé (tr.2)

PS1 directly plugged out-of-the-box to the preamp with Oehlbach beat NF-cables.

Results:
- Sound of PS1 was much darker and deeper than the Panasonic.
- Resolution and details were much better with Panasonic. The Pana shows every breath or harmonics, the PS acts a little bit lazy. The Panasonic is the analyst, the PS is the diplomat or the sound cloud maker.
- Dynamics of the PS was a little bit laid-back.
- Spatiality was good and wide but the PS lets Diana Krall grow about 2 feet.
- one analogy came up: the comparison reminded me of the comparison between OPA2604 (PS1) and LM4562(Panasonic).

Conclusion:

I am a little bit double-minded what to do now with the PS. Should I invest time and money to tune it or not.

After reading many hints and modding recipes I am confused about what helps and is a noticeable improvement or what is just voodoo and nonsense (like blue leds or ceramic fuse).

I would be thankful about some hints what really helps to raise the quality on to a higher level.

@joydivision: What is the difference between Vpp and Vrms? Have you measured the VREFH-pin already?

May I draw your attention to this power supply , just add a 12v DC supply and adjust the output for the 7.6v and 3.6v needed...
First impressions are good, nice and quiet and runs cool.

Under test with an old PlayStation. Also gives you some idea of it's size..

Tolu are you using the factory RCA outputs or the AV multi out? Unmodded the AV Multi out sounds very nice. I think you will have a different opinion if you try the AV output.

I wonder what it would be like with a battery supply?
