I have a SA-7S1 in for upgrades at work. This thing is a beast, the build quality is amazing and to be fair so is the sound. It's that good I had to take it home to listen to what it could do and was very impressed. It uses 2x NPC SM5866 dacs.
The front panel where it curves round is 35mm thick machined aluminium!!!
SEE SOME PICS HERE
The pictures do not do it justice. I will get some better pics later

Brent,
Just curious, but what kind of upgrades are in order for the SA-7. Or, what is it that the owner is so displeased with to void the warranty?
I've heard an SA-7, and it does lack the detail of the finest players, and our modded players, but the 7 does have a nice look and build.

Well well well, look what I found:

Good work Brent, how does it compare to your CD63 now?

Been spying have you
It's very good, the details are up there with mine now. Also the bass has become what I consider spot on. I'll take it home over the weekend and test further.
If anyone can afford a second hand one of these and mod it they will have a very nice cd player indeed.

Well guys,
far away from such out of reach luxury machine here I am with my CD-53
I'm cutting test boards for my DOS right now, not the final resistors (will order stuff for a fiend so some Takman or Holco for me), not the final caps (left Rubycon ZL from op amps) but almost the definitive tight fit.
I have to make up my pind about how to move or not the LM317/337 Raygs closer and remove a pair of cap, making a second pair of Raygs, making TeddyRegs, buy better caps...
• any problem fitting these boards as a layer over the main PCB as done with clocks or my Flea in my player? It's a room problem, so if they can go // over the DAC head that's fine.
• the chokes L1 L2 they have a dot on top wich shows a way, wich one is it?
Need rooooomm

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
