A list

Yamaha CDC 705. 5 Disc. weak laser. Nice golden display
NAD 5220. No playback. Red Display

Pioneer DV 59 AVi . ilink sounds good. Does CD, SACD, DVDA. The problem strangely when connecting this to a Pioneer 74 TXVi was a firewire cable that was not good enough. A genuine Sony cable seemed to work better. That said, having an alternate, Sony DA7100ES helped too.
Yamaha S2500. Ebay. once around. returned. Didn't seem as impressive as the Pioneer.

Sony PlayStation. Impressive playback. Not really a flat frequency response. But who cares.

Pioneer DV 38A . Impressive internals. Now plays CDs well. No DVDA. Changed laser. VNP1713 is a good match. Actual Pioneer part number is VXX2653 for DVD Mech (Pickup and Spindle motor). Just watch 4 springs during reassembly. rods. springs on top. Not the other way. Otherwise you'll hear a once around - disc hitting the laser / tab on the laser.

Pioneer DV 434 . For parts for above. Ended up not using. 
Sony DVP S7000. To mod. Sounds good. Headphone amp inbuilt. Won't stay off.

Sony BX 59/BDP 590. Multi channel DSD via HDMI to Receiver. Sounds good.

VNP1713 and the existing laser both work for DV 38A when installed correctly. Neither seems to work for DVDA. For DVD, it IDs as DVD but does not play tracks.
