After my initial investigations I would say that the 1002 is very slightly better than the 5502. 1002 seems to be a bit more punchy with deeper bass once the comparison is equalised by using the AV out. If I did not have the 1002 for comparison I would probably be very happy with the 5502. Anyway the differences could very well be down to set up as these both have the same DAC according to Dogbreath dogbreath.de/PS1/DAC/DAC.html. Still doesn't answer the question about the 7001 though.

I tried internet translation too! The following is what I got, maybe the three together might make sense.
Modified Playstation HP of 1 SCPH-1002 Very well sounding High-End-CD-Players with all functions! For the years-long serene music enjoyment displayed. Model modified this professionel is for the permanent Audiobetrieb corresponding to improved. Qualitatively high-value clean processing timeless and fixed value. Highest extension step with tonal paramount condensers and a new metal laser unit that reads all CDS, also Selbstgebrannte. The sound reference corresponds ca. five thousand Euro. They can sell dannach your much more expensive CD-player and can invest for example into a good tube amplifier. They hear solves themselves a spatially holographic image, the "Swing" and the naturalness of the reproduction perfectly of your loudspeakers. Profit from my experience! Inclusive remote control with all important functions and with evacuated network component in the verkupferten housing. There is advantages network component from storage without network component expense ring high-frequency interferences that come from every stale network component. One hears these interferences above all in the high tones after longer time as an irritating high-frequency intoxication carpet and makes no one on duration happily. This not pleasant circumstance is mentioned out of costs reason unwillingly. Also without network cable vibrations, that transferred will can directly to the Playstation. Much place for an orderly network component improvement, that can find no place in the original housing. This free become place was used for the new audiophilen condensers, that otherwise not fit into the housing. The difference audible immediately to a normal, but by house out of already well sounding Playstation 1002, is the improved solution, the clear dross-less tone reproduction and additional pressure and volume! The extensive verkupferte shielding yields a to date unexpected quiet and composure of this music station. Example quotations of buyer that bought my modified station: Of: A. ..S... bcdtravelde the station arrived already past Thursday with me. Thank you very much for the quick delivery. I write you first today because I hear the last days and evening almost permanently with large contentment and joy my CDS. Your Tuningversion sounds really very, very well (and sees also yet very impressively out of). The normal PSone, with which I last week heard in that, was tonal already a surprise, but with your version, that is now once again clearly better in all areas. After the previous hear day, I can say that your PSone in execution, optics and - above all - sound is a small master work. Congratulation! Of: H. H. ...S....airbuscom in your rebuilt Play station sticks correctly potential. I used heard Etalon cone with the cable "White Bird" at a Naim chain with LS3/5A. Shockingly fluidly by analogy, really, correctly your network cable and the RG cable I buy. Mfg H.. S... Make further so the cable "White Bird" becomes more and more better at the station. I gained myself yet the BLUE TOOLS and the CD mat White mirror. Lecherous lecherous! r.b@bluewin.ch... the device arrived is connected today. and sounds beautifully and indescribably musically in my hifianlage, that front end digital given as an ulimatum. ... Another feedback at it. the playstation sounds would chain sensational in mine. ..besser as many topplayer in that four.- or quite five place preisbereich! chapeau, it have a wonderful musikmaschine managed! The connection between ear and soul is produced again because you will experience the music livehaftig and alive. They can hear irritates now for hours relaxed music without that it. This getunte Playstation 1 SCPH 1002 is technical in a flawless condition and optical through the hammer blow varnish a special view capture! Who comfort loss how a missing display or headphone connection can bear, that a price has / achievement ratio that it does not give in this form. Over the rear video exit (yellow Chinchbuchse), the CD menu is on every television visible, but not unconditionally required, who knows the remote control. Technical details Network component with tax cable: Evacuated network component in verkupfertes housing. More capacity through better condensers and filter limbs. Cold device bushing with red marked phase notice. Large slag heap switch in housing front for on and from. Lötbare High-End-ceramics-Audiosicherung in Silberlot! Network component housing is with ca. Tax cable shielded 80cm connected, therefore flexibly up adjustable. DIN connection: with this can be tried connection technical without problem also other stale network components, by analogy network components or my rechargeable battery provision! That wore out resulted network component and station page directly of the platinums what very positively influences the sound. Audioausgang and audiophile component: a combination out of Siemens-SNEEZED-oil paper-Mundorf and silver glimmer condensers for a strong, pliant silky balance. Laser unit and blue LED: New fair technical laser unit exactly adjusted on out of metal. All CDS reads, also Selbstgebrannte! Blue LED back / abschaltbar over back page latch connector connection. Blue light is irradiated of below at the CD and improves the feel behavior of the laser. Copper shielding: One finds normally only in very expensive devices. Causes like a protection cage against evtl. Disturb waves of grounded copper cover with satisfied fastener. Calming of the electronics with copper foil and special rubber. Motherboard sits on moss rubber. Housing is at entscheidenten places bitumengedämpft. Grundiert and varnishes in color Anthrazit hammer blow effect. Sonderwünsche: Rechargeable battery business and specially networks components for the Playstation... Sound increase extra class (optionally) High End network cable: Very musically, quickly and pliant! High price category level. German manufacturer, VDE, CE 3 xs 2.5 mm², almost unresisting, shielded, flexibly, black tissue casing, High End Schukostecker/cold device connector, length ca. 1.50 ms, EUR 79.00 Network filter optimizes for this station: Swiss manufacturer, in bad current environment, for example old building or industrial areas. By request network component housing installation EUR 89.00 or as network cable version with the above-mentioned network cable integrated!

Was gonna get one of these then decided against it then changed my mind and got one well... two actually. A 1002 with nothing else for £8 inc P&P and another random one with controllers, leads, Official PSX bag etc for £22 in P&P So out of interest how long does it take to warm up. The 1002 sounds distant and flat at the moment but it's only had a dozen hours on time. It's gonna have to go some to catch my DVP or even my portable panasonic CDP. I'm still using the RCAs not the AV port. I'll try to track down an AV lead on Ebay later today. Does that make a huge difference? EDIT: I've just had a quick trawl around to try to find an AV lead and I can only find cheap crap. Does anyone know where I can get hold of a decent AV lead in the UK like or similar to the blue one Rick linked earlier in the topic? Cheers Ian

You herd of bastards. /just won an SCPH-1002 on ebay Be thankful... if this was headfi you'd probably have bought into the latest expensive CDP only to find later that it's crap er... mediocre Update: My 1002 is starting to improve now. It's now firmly in the third slot of my sources. Between my Cowon MP3 player and My panasonic CDP. Soundstage has improved no end. Vocals are much more forward than they were. It still lacks presence but it's getting there Detail is still absent but it's got more warming up to do and the AV lead to try when it arrives I just love how mad it looks to see a Solo and AKG K701 combined with a playstation that cost me 8 quid LMAO. I may take it apart at the weekend and give the inside a good airdusting and cleaning.

I finally got around to making an attempt of the 'Dodbreathed' PS1. I did not fiddle with the line out stage, opting instead to use the AV out without any modifications to the main board. I only ran through resoldering. I performed all the other mods, albeit with my own twists due to limited parts availability here in Spain. (best we have is Amidata[RS Spain] who rarely have much of anything in stock) First up I rehoused the PSU... Internal umbilical to board... First time around I managed to wire in perfect mirror image , good thing I double checked before proceeding. Next was the remote mod. (also managed to wire this wrong first time, maybe the wrong day for this!) Didn't get round to retidying layout after the first attempt,so a bit messy... Job done! Correctly at last. Only 7pin plus plugs available to me were D-Plugs... Lastly cobbled up an AV to phono lead... I plugged it into the wifes system (humble thing at work), from cold it easily blew away the normal player, good start. I took it home and plugged into my system to compare against the resident Meridian 506/24. The sony sounded... Completely useless! Brash and vague in comparison. It will now sit warming in for a better/fairer comparison later. Additionally the 506 does have a decent lead on it. So I'll reserve any final judgement as said above and I have ordered a better lead for it. That's it for now.

OK, time to give a final judgement on my XPS. This is based ONLY on the modifications I made as detailed above plus the Ixos a/v lead, bamboo board and bicycle tube additions. Although the player did improve greatly after the tweaks above and extended warm up period I was left rather underwhelmed. I think the extra mods to the output stage plus any other knowledgable tinkering must be essential to obtain the results claimed. My attempts have made a very dull player into one that is quite reasonable but certainly no giant killer, my 506/24 has no worries! I compared it to a freinds Marantz CD63IIKI with no mods, we agreed that although different they were roughly in the same league. I offered it to my daughter to put in her system but it failed the UGLY-TEST miserably I had fun tinkering with it but the results fell well short of my hopes. Maybe one day I'll attempt the rest....

Not surprising actually with that being pretty much the pro-con PS1 camps with the sides being pretty much a dead even split. I found this recently and it being somewhat on topic figure WTF,worth a post anyway : www.theanalogdept.com/stefano_bertoncello.htmnow this is obviously a well thought out,well matched and very dollar heavy system and yet what do we find is the means of CD playback ? Yup : "CHINA MADE DVD/CD PLAYER AND PLAYSTATION PS-1, WITH REMOTE-CONTROL DISK-PLAYERS" Now I know from past viewings of this systems page this is a brand new addition,like this year,and I know the previous means of CD Redbook play was via a Studor 700 (not cheap) so if this is the replacement (even if it IS butt ugly by comparison.........to ANY CDP known to humankind ) kinda makes one wonder why there is such diversity of opinions on this one,even moreso than on if and why cables sound different. Myself ? still in system as my main CD player and still no major mods other than getting some clearance between the bottom of the case and the shelf via some hard rubber "pucks' (for cooling.this baby runs HOT !),placing a soft cotton bag filled with lead shot on top while discs are playing (not too heavy or the cover will hit the disc),tapping the audio feed from the "modified" AV Multi output and finally I use the Monster Cable AC Cord. The "modded" output is no more than a replacement of the coupling caps and load resistors with ones of better quality,replacing the muting transistors with small relays Then whipping up a custom interconnect using the plug from the original AV cable with my version being solid copper 24 guage wire in a Kimber PBJ braid topology (1-Hot,1-GND connected at both ends,1-GND connected at the deck end only) with the wire itself being nothing special-Radio Shack "Rainbow" intercom wire that i was hipped to in the Stereophile "Aunt Corey's buffered Preamp" article many years ago. Oh yeah.the RCA connectors are the ultra expensive Radio Shack 4/$3.00 ultralight-minimal metal plastic shell plugs that are damn hard to beat unless you need your plugs to LOOK good rather than sound good but the trick is to use very little EVERYTHING with them so fancy jackets and heavy shielded cables are out or you are better off using the precious,oh so precious plugs at $50 per OMG ! NO WAY ! Way ;D

There you see, lost me already! Schematic, replacing the muting transistors with small relays ? For this nolly, er no. Thanks though! The main reason I attempted the DB mods was because of the total morons guide with pretty pictures. One day I'll get braver/more knowledge.

referring to the schema above if you look at "AoutR" and "AoutL" of the DAC chip and follow the path to the output connector you will see that the ONLY parts in the signal path from the dac to the jacks are
Left Channel
C424 ,R16 and R18
Right channel
C423,R15 and R17
all the rest is either for the muting circuit or the output RFI filter !
Not a whole lot beteen the "meat" and the "metal"

Thanks again. That's the kind of instruction I can understand! Do you have an idiots guide to the "replacing the muting transistors with small relays" bit you mentioned?
I'm determined to get this thing performing the way you say it can!
