Not sure what tweak1 is talking about. Plenty of old high end dvd players from Sony, Pioneer, Toshiba, etc make great budget transports. They all have coax/optical outputs which all modern dacs have. I personally have a Tascam Cd200 which I picked up for $80. Nice transport. Another good choice is Sony s7000 or 7700.
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.
