Thanks for your insight, not sure if this is the answer as a Quad 75 cdp 'working' fetch £350 ish buy removing the DAC to used in a AACD3 seems none cost effective. I have owned a Quad 75 and installed a (PFM flea and Tent clock) and circuits supplied with ALW super regs. The AACD3 was still better than the modded Quad 7 but I know your thinking. There are loads of CDPs still out there with the TDA1541a.....
There is another RUclipsr who modifies 1541 players and DAC and in some of his videos he has copper wrapped the big capacitors and earthed ghf copper. Also has copper sinked chips too 👍
main reason not to leave any CDP powered up 24/7 that uses this classic multibit dac , first thing that goes is the OSC giving that static noise after its warmed up . Its worth heat sinking these chips
Buy yourself an old quad 75 CD player. They have S1s in them. Also put a heat sink on the DAC to stop it failing in the future.
