Buckingham, for those portable questions, you should visit www.head-fi.org. To answer your questions based on my limited experiences, SONY's DE7xx or better do have digital out. Most of Pana don't, in US market. But again, I would recommend simpler config, namely SONY D-25S, which is 12 years old model but/therefore VERY good sounding DAC inside with all metal chassis. Not suitable for actual portable purposes. You can find it on eBay from Silicon Salvage without headphone or AC/DC adapter or battery at $45. Real bargain. I am using it in my den through ASL's MG Head, but not much difference sound quality from its headphone jack. Ken
Portable CD Player with Digital out
Doing some travelling this summer and will be spending some time in hotels. I was thinking of getting a Discman with a digital out and hooking it up to an old EAD DAC, a good headphone amp and some Senn's. Does anybody have some ideas about this or some recommendations based on personal experience with this situation.
Thanks
