    What's in a name? This thing is the real deal Tony. Who would have thought my digital hi-fi journey would lead to a $6.00 CDP? If the "right" player was a $750 machine, I would be here telling you I must save and wait. Just worked out like this...

    That's what I love about this hobby. If you do your homework, you can put together a great system on the cheap. And sometimes, I mean cheap. It's all part of the fun, too!

    For anyone who might be Googling this...

    I opened it up and it's infact a TDA 1543. I took a quick pic...

    While you're at it you can probably dust the interior

    As promised, I reread your TDA 1541/1543 thread.

    Congratulations on your $6 digital journey. :3:

    PS: I just found the manual for the Sharp DX-650 CDP that I've been using as temp transport until my Yamaha DVD-S2700 gets here next Tue.

    You should keep the Sharp. It uses an LC7880 DAC, made by Sanyo. These are sought after in DIY circles. Infact, I bet you could have some heavy modding done if you knew the right type of person for that.

    Maybe throw it in a second system...

    Found its twin for $8. This one is going to Adam LaBarge.

    Ya, bad pic. Not much too see, it's the exact same model as what I have. I even scooped another AR Pro Series power cable. I think Adam will be stoked...he's been listening to a PS1 for some time and needs a good CDP.

    OH SNAP! Thanks PC. I guess I'm going old school and didn't even know it!

    Actually I really look forward to hearing it. The AudioNote DAC 1 I've been using might just be too 'clean' for me.
