I wanted to add a CD player to my home music setup, but couldn't find anything that both looked cool and was in my budget. after some research (reddit.com "cool cd players"), I found out that audiophiles LOVE the CD player that is built into the PS1.
I plugged it into the receiver I have my turntable hooked up to, and it works! I don't really know if it sounds high quality or anything but it sounds good to me. It's a bit tricky to navigate the menu without a screen, but I think with a little more practice, I should be able to enjoy my CDs without too much fidgeting.
