The difference between the CD 9000 and CD 903 is located mainly in the mechanical structure. The power supply is now completely housed inside the case and there is no longer a heat sink on the back wall. The device was "added" as a supplement for the 903 line, since there was only one CD player for the complete program so far and an independent model line was to be built up.

With a little luck, you will find a S1 single crown Converter on the Board.

If you think CD players all sound the same, you're wrong. The Grundig Fine Arts CD 903 sounds better than all other devices I've heard so far. After all, the Philips converter chip TDA 1541 is generally said to have a special "musicality" - and the Grundig engineers have installed it in this device in an ideal electronic environment. If you want to relive your CDs, this CD player is the right choice - a dream!
