I completely restored the electronics in my DP80. Obviously, the capacitors are easy to replace with new and better ones. There is one critical Denon-specific IC that I found in Hong Kong for a few bucks. There are a bunch of transistors which "my" technician, Bill Thalmann (another plug for Bill) tells me tend to go bad, so he replaced them with modern, better, more reliable equivalents. All this work was surprisingly inexpensive (maybe because I chased down the IC myself), and Bill was able to calibrate the DP80 to "better than new" specs, once the installations were done. It even plays music now.
