[FS] Vintage Philips PCDP-power monster, mint collector's item

Up for sales is a vintage Philips AZ8630 PCDP from my personal collection
This is a power monster which is powered by 4 AAAs and able to deliver quality sound and drive most of the headphones in my collection really well (um...except the 600ohm 240DF).
It plays flawlessly. The package comes with original box, paperworks, headphones, the PCDP itself (note that batteries are not included).
This is a rare collector's item. I am only putting it up for sales to make room for more new toys. My lost is your gain!








Price is USD80 (shipping and paypal fees inclusive). Payment via PayPal only.

It's more or less the same unit. There are some sonic differences, just as there are some between the 32 and 33.

You're welcome. If there's something I know, it's PCDPs

I'm working on some mods for the AZ6833, actually. Still trying to figure out what's what, as I can't find a schematic/service manual. Philips uses an extremely bizarre D/A conversion system. On the 33, it's an SAA7345GP w/ a DA1545. The 7345 is an A/D converter, not a D/A, so I'm not sure why it's there. All I can figure is that it converts the 16 bit CDDA to PWM and then throws it to the DA1545 for analog conversion.
