The Arcam FMJ CD33 and 36 (2004-2006) were unique cd players in that they used ad1896 upsampling and four (4) WM8740 dacs (two/channel in dual diff). The 33 made it to the July 2004 cover of Stereophile and was personally measured and reviewed by its long-time editor, John Atkinson.

While one can readily find schematics or SMs for many other ARCAM products, the CD33 and CD36 are elusive. One would think that the dCs Ring dac models would be more obfuscated, but those schemas are everywhere.
Much appreciated if any one has access to the cd33/36 schemas or detailed photos of the PCB.

This is a low-rez shot of the CD36 pcb.
