Who still listens to their First Generation Cd Players?

And I can avoid use of LPs as Raymio DAC settles the problem with analog interpretation.

I wish I still had my Philips CD-80. I had it modded by Stan Warren and can't, for the life of me, remember why I gave it away.

All the best,

@nonoise, the CD-80 was built like a tank, wasn’t it? Made everything else seem like a toy. That is, until I got an Esoteric ;-).

Just picked up a Pioneer pd-4050 at a local garage sale.
Very very clean and obviously well looked after. 1987 vintage.
Hooked it up via single ended rca as this only option and it sounds pretty darn good for $20!.
Very detailed and solid, nice presentation all round, definitely not edgy or harsh, except with cds recorded that way of course!
I think its a keeper
