Below are almost all classic 80's and 90's Philips CD players, most with swing arm mechanisms, but also some with linear CDM12 variants. Most DACs are multibit TDA1541 variants, some are bitstream TDA1547 or SAA variants. The list is hand-made, compiled from various sources and some errors may exist. Some info is still missing so if you have data that can further complete this list, please let me know!
The models with pictures are personal players that are part of an extensive review. Click the image to go directly to that model's section in the review.
