    Default Wanted: Cheap DVD player to use as a transport for cd's.

    Remember the good old days a few years back, when lots of us on here used a DVD player, and got amazing results with it? Edit Point: Through a good DAC I should have said, saving you your thoughts about using one as a stand alone player, sorry!

    Well, I have a silly craving to play cd' again, hence my request, just want an uber cheap job as it is probably a passing phase! ��

    A few people used the Pioneer DV-717 as a transport. I'm not sure about any used as a stand alone player. The 717 doesn't cut it IMO.

    I,m using it as a standalone. Well no external dac... It goes through my upgraded buffer and sounds very good.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Thanks for the replies gentlemen, I've managed to get a Denon 1930 at a good price locally.

    I have a Pioneer DV-717 DVD player. But being a bit unorthodox, I use mine to play DVDs.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
