CD Player Modifications. Is it worth the ?


I recently have been discussing modifying / upgrading my CD player, NAD C541. I would cost me around $300. Is it worth it, will it make an substantial difference?

Wow, I had an Aiwa XC-30M 5 disc carousel. I guess I should have never sold it to my brother for $25, LOL. It just had too many blinking buttons and noisy loading sound when it shuffled discs. I think this was the forerunner of the XC-35Ms and XC-37Ms. I wonder if my old XC-30M shares this same "world class" transport anomily as the later units?

The unit I replaced it with was a Marantz CC-47 carousel (1bit DAC, yuck!) that was much quieter, smoother, switched discs faster, and had S/PDIF out via RCA (instead of toslink like the AIWA).
