Yes that HOP1200 is great as my Denon A1 & A11 and in fact the Denon A1XV units all use the same transports and those lasers and thank god they are definitely available to purchase here in the UK from a fantastic seller on eBay who used him several times and used his lasers . I also own a Marantz SA-15S1 unit and I had to replace the laser but that HOP1200 would not work so I had to get another one which was identical to the original. Thankfully D&M throughout around the tail end of the 1990's well up and until around 2010 or so fitted the same transports so you can now in 2025 get new lasers and parts for the transports D&M ditched using the original Sony KSS units thank god !!! As great as they were you were absolutely screwed as they went obsolete many many years ago and you can't get any new lasers or parts for those KSS unit you purchase a 2nd hand player if those lasers fail youve has it one very expensive 🫰 paperweight ☝️I personally and sadly avoid any Player that use the original Sony KSS units .
Because originally there was a 100 ohm SMD resistor there. I simply restored the circuit to what it was when the player left the factory. With the wrong 1.5k resistor the player simply wouldn't read SACDs
But the problem was not in the laser being poor quality but the owner getting wrong ones. Laser replacements - particularly for SACD players - is not something easily done by owners.
Hello, I would like to ask if you would repair a Roksan ROK-DP1 again, perhaps with a new laser unit? I just love this device and it won't let me go! Is it possible to send you the device from Germany? Thank you very much.

I believe there are 2 versions of this Laser same as the Denon.

Hello. For what purpose did you install another resistor, so that it would read disks better?, and what is the resistor standard?
Because originally there was a 100 ohm SMD resistor there. I simply restored the circuit to what it was when the player left the factory. With the wrong 1.5k resistor the player simply wouldn't read SACDs
This is why for my new Denon SACD player I’ve bought 3 new complete laser mechanisms from Denon spares.
Might even buy some more 😂

Correct I bought one for my Sony sacd player and it didn't work
