Technics A10 DVD digital output options


Can anyone who used this player with and outboard DAC comment on it performance with DVD-A? Looking to get one to mate with my Levinson 360S DAC. Two entirely different classes of equipment, I know, but a Stereophile reviewer used one when DVD-A was new. He may still. I just don't want to go out and buy a player for such a limited format( so far anyway). I have a great transort for CD and SACD so I'm not really concerned with those formats with regard to this player. Thanks.

Hmmm, maybe we got different versions of the manual... well I haven't read the manual in a long time. I pretty much got all the necessary menu functions memorized. Lets see, to turn off Re-master is *action *9 *5 *down *return. Volume is *top funny button twice *toggle left once *toggle up or down to control volume. I memorized these, ofcourse, since, otherwise, you need to connect the damn thing to a monitor even when you're just using the A-10 as a CD player.

I've used the A-10 to drive a few of my former amps and can say atleast I didn't experience any dropping bits. Then again, I used to have a Meridian 518 that attenuates in digital domain and didn't experience any bits dropping their either.

Anyhow, I finally got that damn part from Parasound and repaired my transport a few nights ago. Back to the closet the A-10 goes.
Hi Viggen, I've always used the A-10 pretty much as a video player, guess I should have read the manual if it's in there as you say. It's still strange to me the way they set it up...hit display twice..toggle left/right and then toggle up or down. Strange!!! I still have not used the volume control and have no need to use it at this time but I am going to dig out the manual and read it now. Thanks
