These days I started restoring an old purchase, a Cayin CDT-17A CD player that I bought years ago for a modest price, $200. The CD player had various problems, someone had tampered with the PCB to the point that it no longer worked. I managed to "resurrect" the CD player, I asked myself the question, leave it like this or redo everything, and, how to proceed? In the absence of an electrical diagram and taking advantage of my passion for PCBs, I redesigned everything, separating the various stages, Control, Power Supply, DAC and finally the Tube power supply and audio and the digital audio outputs. The result is this. Now, is it possible to improve on the original design? Does anyone have any ideas?
On the net you can find something, but nothing of that!

Hi, may I ask?
Do you have the secondary (output) voltage of the analog transformer?
I have this same CD player and the analog transformer is faulty.
Thanks.

Hello,
I just discovered your project; it looks great! One question: Did you make multiple sets of circuit boards? I might be interested in a set of these boards. I have the CDT-17a and I think separate boards make sense. It would certainly be nice to have a large area available on the tube output board for various coupling capacitors.
Kind regards
