I've never heard of such CD player model, but have searched the web and found Marantz CD41 remote control unit...

This player (in Australia at least) was Marantz trying to jump on the bitstream wagon and came out before the CD42/52 models. It was probably a Philips pcb and maybe the dac chip before SAA7350 - either SAA7321 or SAA7323.
In your country ........ who knows.

I had found something. 1st it’s ugly and 2nd not so bad with electronics. DAC is tda1545. I don’t think that CD player like this one is playing music at all. All I want to say is that CD41 is a very old model. I don’t know what to do? Maybe I will search for Marantz CD4000 or CD46.
Thanks for helping me

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
I have a CD41. Its unfortunately in pieces at the moment. Its not too bad. I also have a Philips CD624, which is identical - except it has an SPDIF output.
CDM4 based, which is quite nice - liked by many, and plenty about secondhand if one should fail. Not too bad. Pretty good to mod (if you like Bitstream). However, I found the plastic cage chassis a pain to put back together (that's sort of why its in pieces - I couldn't put it back together again 😉 ). I use the CD624 occasionally as an I2S source (from the decoder chip) for an old NOS DAC I have.
Its an SAA7310 decoder, and SAA7325 (integrated digital filter and DAC).
Its probably alright if you sniff off the i2S and fit a multibit DAC in there. There is plenty of space to do that if I recall, in fact a whole compartment. You could easily shove in a TDA1543 DAC in the space, probably something a bit bigger with some planning.
Hope that helps,
Phil

What do you want to do with it?
Isn't the CD46 about the same age/ I'm not sure about the CD4000.

some tweaking: replace OPs, maybe new PSU, ...
I don't know how much of work will I invest in CD 😀

If it was me, I'd get a CD63 (again! LOL). They're much easier to get the main board out of, and great for modding. And there is a mine of information on *that* thread.
However, the CD41 is a reasonable place to start.
It might not be the player you eventually settle for (you may well move on to something else), but you'll learn a lot modding it - in preparation for your final player.
