Elso has extensively modded the 931.. I bought one with that purpose but still didn't make any mod....
If you search there are many posts about them, but IIRC the suggested mods were clock replacement and using a external DAC (maybe tapping the IIS signals), and of course power supply tweaking.
I got a copy of the service manual from him.

Hi Hacknet,
The difference is almost none. The servicemanual of the CD931 is just an addendum to that of the CD930. I have given up to find the differences.
😉
Ok,
Fun besides 😀
CD9x0: made in Belgium (hasselt)
CD9x1: made in Singapore
Any other differences:
Maybe different components used
since one sound better than the other.
Check the labels (i'm not shure, read it somewhere on the net during surfing). Then open them up and see if the buildquality is the same 😀
my 2 cents
edit: i swear that the JP post was not there when i last looked.
How about that.... btw JP, check your clock.... Not afraid to be asleep tom during the match 😉

Standard T10.
Torx
Hi hacknet,
I am using a Torx # T10 bit, but while looking for a complete screwdriver at a shop this size was called #1.
😕

I used an allen key for mine. It's not the perfect tool, but it fits (just make sure not to use too much force)
That method is reserved for non technical people only.
A technical orientated person just goes out and buys a T10 when he needs to open a Philips cdplayer more than once.
Hacknet, I had that once too. T10 screwdriver that did not fit in T10 screws. Cheap quality has its price 😉
