which budget DVD player for output to DAC?

I am considering buying an MSB Link or Perpetual DAC
and using a DVD player as input to it. What would be a
decent budget DVD player for this purpose - quality transport, proper digital audio outputs
for the DAC (or DIP)? Furthermore, would there be an advantage to putting a DIP (e.g. Monarchy) in between the DVD and the DAC?

Thanks - Keith

My $0.02 personally I think you're about three years too late to be playing with DACs and de-jitter devices like the DIP. I would consider a DVD or SACD player and get it modified by one of the respected modders. For example I currently have an EVS Millennium DAC, but if I lost the unit for some reason, or had to start over now, I would probably get Ric's mod to one of the panasonic DVD players. No digital ICs. Only one aftermarket power cord, one shelf, can get a modified clock, etc, etc. I think you'd be far ahead with performance for dollars, but just thing of all of the nervosa you would avoid!

No affiliation with EVS or Panasonic/Matsushita. Just a satisfied owner.
