Some of the non-HDG model 1s have the good sound board too -- look for the ones with a blanked-out area in the back panel where the extension port would be on the HDG ones. These Genesis models have the VA6 motherboard, meaning they have superior composite video (that is, less rainbow banding) to the earlier HDG models and the same superior sound hardware as the HDG models.

Future model 1s have this blank area removed, shortening the back panel to accommodate only the remaining ports. Those model 1s have inferior sound quality.
