the exposure 3510 cd player look great they use sony kss 213c pickup laser
with the greatest single chip r2r pcm1704
that will bring the realistic analog sound at home speaker

how about the ps1 console what does the laser pickup and dac which used?
the price of 3510 cd is too pricey,is there vintage tda1451 cd player alternative?
 
For some people it will matter during sighted listening. Otherwise...no.
 
I doubt the Exposure 3510 sounds better than a Sony QS player from the late 90s - that have same drive and display. The other internal stuff is different and will very likely sound ... transparent (if not intentionally "different" e. g broken by design). You pay for the optical and haptical difference of the device. It's up to you to decide whether it's worth it. The cheap drive at least is easy to obtain and to replace.
