I've been looking at CD players and DACs recently. One thing has struck me. None of the players or transports I've looked at have USB out (except the Melco D100 which only has USB out). As a lot of CD players share a lot of parts with computer CD drives, I can't imagine that it would take much to include USB out. As there seems to be a drift towards USB being the primary DAC input, and/or there being a number of DACs and Streaming devices that only have USB inputs - adding a USB out would increase the flexibility of the transport.
For me it would mean I could use a CD player as the drive for ripping via my Melco N1A/2 as well as the CD source for my Hi-Fi.
So why doesn't it happen? Where are the CD players with USB out?
