The CD-3400 inverted polarity. Not a minor annoyance IMO. The mods I had done to mine included correcting that deficiNcy. I also had the outboard power supply. Of course you hVe to tweak the thing. You have to tweak everything!. The tweaked/modded 3400 was actually a very musical sounding player. Period.

Sam, didn't mention polarity in his great discovery article. At least I don't remember it being mentioned.
I can reverse polarity on my current dac, and it is subtle. The 3400 just wasn't competitive with even the most basic CD player.
I heard nothing that made be think this has potential. My DX-1 was so much better.
I actually owned the 3400 and can report it sounded excellent. It's a Giant Killer. You know, like the Oppo 103. Like anything else these things MUST be modded and tweaked to sound their very best. Isn't that what high end audio is all about?
Trust me, the Radio Shack CD-3400 in it's stock form reverses polarity.
Excellent points! Dave and Jeff.
