In Reply to: RE: What happened to discussions of regular CD players posted by AbeCollins on March 19, 2023 at 06:24:35
Since I don't have a stand alone dac, is there any way to know how good the transport mech is in an older CD player that has a digital output? As I said I have been out of this hobby for some time, but I do have a lot of cds and wonder if there is a way to "rate". the transport mech in an older self contained CD player. I have a few cd players laying around and assuming they still work, I am guessing that the best transport mech would be the deck to choose to mate with a newer dac. ( assuming it has a digital output that bypasses the dac that is in the machine itself. Norm
Follow Ups:
I don't have any experience with dedicated Transports but I have used CD players / CD Disc Changers with Digital Outputs to drive outboard DACs.
Isn't a Transport just a CD Player w/o the built-in DAC? Similarly if a CD Player has digital outputs can't you use it as just a Transport?
According to the marketing docs on my old CDP that I once owned:
Accuphase DP-65V CD Player / Transport:
Great pic! Abe.
That is good to know that at least in a high end CD player they made it clear that the transport apparently could function independently of the inboard dac. I wonder if that was true for all decks that had digital outputs. Thanks.
Any CD player with a Digital Output [Coax and/or Optical] can be connected to an outboard DAC. In this configuration the player is essentially just being used as a Transport.
My Jolida JD100 has the same capability.

Steve
