Ok, here goes:
I have constructed all psu`s with wima mkp`s, and panasonic FC series caps. For the two 5v psu`s, I had to use some big caps, and i used BC components 308 series, I don`t think there very good. I also need to add some err coils? -the "L" thingies from a LCCLLCLCL thing-
I also uses some flat cable for all the wiring, so that also has to go, as I know it can be done better.
As far as the sound;
I have bass! loads of it! But, I think the perception of that is becauce the bass is much more defind. The soundstage is nice although there is no pinpointing on instruments -using the internal dac- What it does is separate the instrumentents, and it has a good quickness to the sound.
It sounds quite musical, and the separation, and quickness are the things that mostly striked me at first. I also like the much more analoge sound it produces, when comparing to my inky winky pathetic sony crap cd player.
I am very pleased, and I think adding better cable, coils, and a new clock will really give him a boost.
Btw, any one got advise for good 2mh coils? I say that Peter Daniel used coils that looked like a cap, and where white... Maybe those are good? I now have some from Conrad, and I don`t think they are good.

Btw, My 5 volt psu -laser- is getting quite hot, I placed a 1000Uf Panasonic Fc behing the regulator, does anyone thing that might have something to do with that?
Tnx Peter, you`re always a real gentleman in replies.
So.... Surplus that means? Like from a dumpstore?

It was in a local store and since I got them at least 10 years ago, the location isn't particualrly important anymore😉
Peter, are you building a 2nd player?
PS: if you got my mail, don't try to reply. the website is down 🙁

Yes, I'm building another player. This time it's more serious. Didn't you see those pics, few pages back? http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=283903#post283903
I saw them.
But I only saw the mechanics in the box, not the psu and dac. How will the complete player look like?

I still don't know how it'll look. I get my ideas while I'm working with parts; I never start with a complete drawing😉
Here is my first prototype of my new cdpro2 control board, which I assembled tonight. It seems to be working so far. There were a couple of bugs in the pcb, relating to the lcd (wrong potentiometer footprint and wrong staggering of pins), and I will fix these issues for the next board run.

very good job Brian
I hope I'll be able to carried out such a nice work. I'm still looking into your web site, trying to understand the schematics of this controller...
I'm looking forward to start the buidling, but I haven't enough time because of my job
