Denon DCD-1500

I picked up a Denon DCD-1500 CD player very cheaply on eBay recently and it sounds pretty horrible, worse than my Walmart LG DVD player. It sounds veiled with tubby bass etc. Is it just bad DACs from the 80's or a cheap op amp in the player? If the latter, I can probably steal the signal right after a DAC then run it through a tube buffer. Will some cleaning for the lens help at all?
