thanks!
wow, putting black gate's in a portable... those caps probably cost as much as the rest of the electronics combined! luckily i have those parts already, though i don't have the time to try it out right now...
just skimming through the datasheet, it looks like you can change a few pins and get it to be DC-coupled, getting rid of the output cap entirely... Might be worth a try...
The gain mod looks interesting, though the current level is enough for me... But i think the circuity could use MUCH better bypassing...
definately 
It appears identical to my old (c.1996) sony CDP, the circuity looks identical, the only difference is a thinner optical block and the thinner batteries...and i still don't see how a bunch of professional engineers could release a product with such serious problems with HF noise pickup...
