Which cd/dv mega changer using an outboard DAC?
Yes, it is the CC9100 that only has the toslink out. My Pioneer only has a toslink as well it is a pdf1007. I don't think they make it anymore.

Dekay: You don't know me very well. It was intended to be a cheerful reply. And as you know this topic has come up fairly often. How did you know I use a BIC? 
Against everything that high end cables stand for
The point I was trying to make is that I would first question the advise of anyone who is reccommending the use bare copper leaders without at least coating with some solder to stop oxidation or suggesting very regular cleaning. I would also quest...

Check the archives. There have been several threads on this topic in the last few years. It is probably best to listen while standing up. 
Audiophile oddities
Did you buy the unit used? Perhaps at one time it was a gift from Lex Luthor to Clark Kent and somehow you ended up with it. 
Which cd/dv mega changer using an outboard DAC?
The Marantz 300 disk CD changer does not have a coax digital out. It only has a toslink digital out. I ordered one about 2 weeks ago because the Marantz website says it has one of each. Again, it does not. Luckily I did not have to keep the change... 
Against everything that high end cables stand for
I have never seen bare copper wire ends being reccommended as they will oxidize quickly. After years of trial and error I have found that $40.00 cables pretty much sound like $40.00 cables. I have found that cables are a very important component a...

Maybe a Denon DVD 4800? Five disc changer, progressive scan and supposedly an excellent CD, HDCD and DVD-A player. I have not heard it yet but a very critical friend of mine just got one and he is very pleased with it. He says it sound better on i... 
Buy a hi-end CD player/transport now?
I am not sure I follow Drewfidelity's comment. Do all DVD players play DVD-A?Rob 
Budget CD / DVD or D/A solution
I recently got a Denon DVD 2800. Great progressive scan dvd player and also very good at redbook CD's and HDCD's. A new one should be in the price range you are considering.Rob 
Someone to install a Coaxial ouput in my CD player
I started a thread similiar to this about 1 or 2 weeks ago (looking for a gadget) and some one said a tech could do it for very little money. No names were given though. As well several products were mentioned that let you plug into them with a to... 
DVD-A and SACD player combo
Sugarbrie, that is my concern as well. I would rather have one piece that does one or two things very well instead of one that does many things just OK. 
Direct sunlight on rear projection HDTV
I don't know with any authority but I have an old rear projection TV (not HDTV)that has been angled against my gameroom window since 1990. The sunlight hits the left side and the rear of the TV. It is a 41' Mitsubishi and I don't think the light h...
