Pioneer PD-S505 Review

[MartinT]

Go for it, Leo! I did hear that the PD-91 makes an extremely good modded digital transport, but mine had already gone by then.

Just took a good look at my PD-S505, and it was as i suspected; Mine only have an optical output...
T'was like i remembered then... There must be different versions of'em?

Regards Mike

I have two PD-S505 Precision CD players and they both have coax & optical. Probably the 'Precision' version was different to the regular 505.

They make superb sounding transports with the right DAC.

Yes, for a Precision.

Very nice they are. I have a couple. They sound just fine as a stand alone player and make very good transports. I use one with a Monarchy Audio DAC and DIP jitter buster. The sound quality is first rate. By the way, any Pioneer CD remote works with these. Well worth £75. They are being offered for sale at twice that or more lately.

Keep you posted....
