The rumor that that Playstation One with analog outs was anything special in regards to CD players was busted long ago so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

My recommendation for a good CD player is use your DVD player - DACs are a fairly mature technology now so there aren't problems with lower end ones, but if you worry about it just use digital connection and let your receivers DACs take care of the job.
The only thing debunked is that people were actually paying 1000s of dollars for them because of one web piece saying they were as good as a $6000 single disc player. In fact they are a good CD player. But only someone who has actually listened to one would know that. I have an OPPO DV-970HD and it doesn't sound any better than the SCPH-1001.
