Hi all,
I have 2 x TDA1541A for sale. As shown in photos they are still in the unit but can be carefully desoldered and shipped if anyone is interested.
For a bit of background, the unit is a Sony CDP-337ESD. I purchased two of these second hand in Japan (where I live) as a bit of a project. I've established one of these needs a new laser, so I have decided to give up on it. The second unit is working and sounds fantastic, by the way.
Internally they look quite different to photographs of non-Japanese units I have seen on the internet. The PCB is green (not white), and the DAC ICs have ceramic dampening applied.
I know there's a lot of discussion about counterfeit TDA1541As, that's why posting with the chips still on the PCB and explaining all this background 🙂
Finally, I've read that not all CDP-337ESDs did contain the A variant. Short of removing the ceramic dampening I'm not sure I can prove what they are. Not trying to mislead anyone here.
Open to offers or questions.
Thanks.
Andrew

Andrew,
do you have the whole player? My laser is getting weak so I would to find another, even if it is another weak one. That way I can attempt to replace the laser diode with out potentially destroying my original one.
do you have a price in ming for the TDA1541’s? I would not mind having a spare or 2 on hand.
Thanks in advance,
Technical

Hi Technical,
I still have the whole player. I could ship the unit to you, but 12.8 kilograms would cost a lot more than it is worth. I could remove the KSS-190 assembly and send send it to you intact. How does that sound?
For the TDA1541s, I was thinking $50 each. Actually I need to buy a proper desoldering gun, so that would cover it plus a few dollars for the chips.
Kind regards,
Andrew
