I would never suggest buying a vintage CD player for use as a transport. What breaks down in CD players? It's the transport. Just doesn't make sense. Why would you want a high mileage transport?
Which Vintage CD Player To Use As A Transport?
I need a bargain CD player. Emphasis on bargain. One possibility is buying a cheap Schiit DAC and a vintage player to use as a transport. $100 or so for something described as “bulletproof.” Two questions:
—Is this a good idea?
—Which brand/model/year would be a good choice for a transport?
Many thanks.
