What is the Model #. I Have had 3 Belgium made Philips/Magnavox CD players all from the 80's. They are very good for a few reasons. They have swing arm transports, you will notice by the strange cuts in the loading tray. They are reseliant, though they should be weighing anything between 15-20 pounds. The lasers have glass lenses, which make them easier to clean and they don't warp. It also features the TDA 1541 DAC. These players can be modified as well. One of the modifications is to remove the oversampling feature which many view to be detrimental to the sound quality. They often have stand-alone DAC's based on the TDA 1541, which by the way was made by Philips as well as the transport.
Does the player have a digital output?
