NEED INFO PLEASE: Marantz CD-152

[EADGBE]

I recently picked up a Marantz CD-152 compact disc player for next to NOTHING.

The player is beautifully styled and is in mint condition. It works and sounds great.

I would like to know some technical details about this player. How many DAC chips are in it? One, or two?

I opened it up and found chips by Yamaha and Toshiba in there. But I couldn't find the DAC chips. (I must admit, I didn't look all that hard, though.)

Does anyone have any technical info on this player? It's not the best player I own, but I really do like it!

No response yet?

Does anyone have information on this disc player?

I mainly just want to know if it has one or two D/A converters.

THANKS,

*andy*

I believe they have two DAC chips, both Yamaha i would suspect.

This model isn't documented well on the internet. It's almost certainly not Philips-based as wwww.marantzphilips.nl have nothing on it.

If you post detailed pics of the internals showing the various IC's, I am sure we can identify them. There was a post here at AK back in 2008 but I can't get the attachments to open.

Reviving an old thread, I have a Marantz CD-152 that's been shelved so I opened it up to reveal the Yamaha and Toshiba chips as shown in the photos. Player still works fine and I appreciate the well-constructed transport and tray that you won't find on today's CD players.
