Disklavier

I have a II XG  and I believe the only upgrades are the CD player and 
the EMK memory module. You would need powered speaker to used the audio 
from the cd player. The DCD-1 cd players is a current product at Yamaha. 
Here is the link.

I'd be interested in  DCD-1 if I could find one in white for my white 
MX100 II XG
