Hello everybody! My name is Spencer. I am new to this forum, and this is my first post. I look forward to fun conversation and cool audio projects!
Recently, while browsing retrorgb.com, I came across a website (Feinste ANALOGE Klangeigenschaften SONY PS1 Playstation 1 SCPH-1002 High End CD Player deutschermanfred.de) that described how to modify the Sony PlayStation 1 model SCPH-1001 to be an extremely hi-fi cd player. The only problem was that the whole website was in German. I used Google Chrome's built-in translator to get 90% of the information, but I need some guidance.
I have chosen my replacement op-amp chip: The Burson Audio Supreme Sound v5. It requires a 12v DC 14mA power supply. The guide shows you how to use a cheap DC-DC converter on the 5v DC rail from the power regulator. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good, low-noise DC-DC upconverter I could use. I want one that is clean and won't distort the audio signal.
Next, he modifies the output stage by moving around some resistors and adding coupling capacitors. I am new to hi-fi audio diy, so I could use some help here. He uses standard surface-mount resistors, but I was considering using hi-fi resistors for the clearest sound. Is it worth it (price is not an issue here)? Next up, output stage coupling caps. For the highest fidelity CD sound, what values do I want? He uses a 4.5uF and a 10uF cap in parallel on each terminal of both channels. This may be a silly question, but are those the ideal values? And should I use one per terminal or multiple? I know who I'm looking at for caps, so no problem there. I could really use some help here! Any tips would be appreciated!

Wow! Those will for sure help me. But I'd really appreciate some detailed help with:
A good, low-noise DC-DC booster
Optimal output Resistor choices/values
Optimal output coupling cap values/positioning
Any other potential mods to increase the quality and decrease noise
I am willing to do anything to get the best sound. I love tinkering and trying to find the best configuration.
Thanks!
