I have an old Sony CDP-501 (1986) but it doesn't have digital output. It just have a connector called "accessory"... but I can't find any spdif signal on it. What to do?
Does somebody know what is the digital output format on this connector? Is it possible to convert it easely to spdif?
Thank you for your help and sorry for my bad english!

I came across this japanese site
http://cdp101.hp.infoseek.co.jp/cdp501es/cdp501es.html
since my japanese is restricted to hai and sayonara,I can merely look at the pictures.However,the older 101 pcbs look similar to the pcbs in my 501,meaning it would also be a non oversampler!
If this could be confirmed by someone able to read japanese,it would be very nice!

As for me I was wondering if this player is worth some mods, I've read some of these old Sony sound "analog" and are very well built.
And if it can outperform "foot-tapping-wise" my Philips DVP5500S or my former well modded CD53 Marantz...
(to match an Aura VA100 and B&W DM4).
Thanks!
