Sherbourn CD1 Mods - CD Player

I have a Sherbourn CD1 that I would like to mod if possible?

I have no information except for these online pictures of the CD player.

I have limited experience with mods, are there any mods possible?

I have no interest in using any of the analogue output stages and would like to disconnect them if possible as I already have a DAC that takes the AES/EBU connection.

So I guess I am after some mods that could be made to the power supply?

Very nice & clean layout. You'll never know once
you upgrade the Psu & tweak a little the Cdp
might out run your dac ya. Analog board is
nicely layout with plenty of room for tweaking

That's good to hear. My DAC is my preamp as well, so it is an important piece of equipment that is serving two purposes.

If you only want to use it as transport and it has digital out on balanced line (AES/EBU) then no mods necessary. Better off modding your DAC.

I am really happy with my DAC at the moment and don't want to do anything to it.

Would I be wasting my time just modding the power supply?

Cannot see the pictures. Please upload to this forum.

I reckon so, for the simple reason its a digital box and improving the PSU is very unlikely to result in more correct data as the data will most likely be correct anyway (absenting scratched discs). Also given the balanced connection any common-mode noise is going to be rejected at the receiving end.
 
I'm not really sure about that, I'm myself not too fussy about clocks but I use only multibit DACs. It could be worthwhile, depending on the jitter rejection profile of the receiver chip, however improving the DAC clock would likely pay more dividends than working on the transport clock.
 
Back in the days when the receiver chip was either a Cs 8412
or even the Aes 21 , I clearly could hear improvement by adding
a transport clock Abrax. Now my Cdp's are resting on the shelve.
