Headroom mentions in their ads for their micro line that most of todays portable DVD players have digital outs. You might e-mail them, or ask in their sub-forum here to see if they have a list.

The Archos Jukebox Recorder units had a mini-mechanical coax/spdif output. I used a cheap 1/8"-to-RCA cable to plug it into my old Benchmark DAC1 - nice office rig at the time!

Have a question? Try the SEARCH function first.
I've owned both, and I would pick the H120 as the (far) superior unit.
wolfen,
have you made any comparisons between using ipod like devices and ext headphone compared with DAP like iriver H120 with ext DAC and headphone amp, any comments you like to make in terms of sound quality?

If I'm understanding your question...the H120 with external DAC and headphone amp will outperform any headphone out directly from any other DAP. This belief should be widely held here...
If you just want to use the headphone out to a headphone, then the H120 is an adequate choice, but not the best when compared to other players. The H120's strengths are a decent analog lineout, and a great optical out. Other players can best the h120 headphone out quality (ipod and x5 come to mind).

Dreamtheater, Queen, Rush, Marillion, Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Dio, Queensryche, Kings-X, Jethro', Yes, Primus, Eric Johnson, Liquid Tension Experiment, Junior Brown, Moody Blues, The Beatles, Styx, Asia
You might want to update your Panasonic entries...
SL-CT430 (AC power, Japan Only)
SL-CT570A (AC power, Japan Only)
Someone commented in another thread that the north american versions of these players do not include optical outs. That probably should be confirmed though.
If you like I can provide pics of the D335 and the fore-mentioned panny players.
