Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: ""there is some intermittent noise during playback"" if it has tubes.. The noise is from a tube, not the laser

It's an interesting idea - I swapped three pairs of 12AX7 tubes, two pairs of vintage tubes (Mullard and Mazda) and a pair of stock tubes, but it did not cure the problem. Perhaps, I used a wrong term ("intermittent noise"), but the laser really skips the disc and the sound gets interrupted.

Re tubes, in addition to two 12AX7 tubes, this player also has a voltage regulator (I don't remember its designation) and a rectifier tube. It is worth swapping a rectifier tube (if I manage to find one) and see what happens...
