Thanks for the recommendations! I am currently using an NAD 512 CD Player as the transport, and due to space considerations, I want to move to a single box transport. I have been thinking about Phillips 963SA or 962SA. However, those cheap Pioneer universal players are tempting--if they are able to yield good sound. Any info on those?
Best DVD player to use as transport?
I am looking for the best DVD player for use as a transport with my Musical Fidelity X-DACv3.
The transports should have:
1) low jitter mearuements
2) ability to output a true 75-ohms at the coaxial digital out
3) should have a transformer at the digital out
4) should have a seperate laser dedicated to CD playback
However, the low jitter measurement is the most important.
The analog output stage of the DVD player is irrelevant, so even really cheap DVD players, if they have low jitter measurements, will be considered--even preferred!
