Has anyone tried, or have knowledge of the LG DP771 portable DVD player. It's the model with the seven-inch screen, but more important and relevant from my standpoint is that it apparently has a digital out and can play mp3 from a flash card in addition to playing CD's (and of course DVD's). Consumer Reports gives the model with the eight-inch screen its highest rating. If it can play mp3 music from a flash card and be picked up through its digital out, and operated with the cover closed, that might answer many of our needs well. It sells for $109 at New Egg, and is carried by RadioShack for about $129.
HMMMMM very interesting.

I just went to Radio Shack to try it out, and it works perfectly for my needs described in my initial posting. It even works with the cover closed. And what is even better -- it's currently on sale at Radio Shack for $99, so I bought myself one!
relative newbie here...
w/ the digital out does that mean one can play CD's, digital out to an external DAC ----> amp ----> headphones?
Exactly right. You can also play mp3 via the usb port. I am going to use an 8GB flash- or thumb-drive. I expect that any means you might have to deliver mp3 via the usb port would work.

Thanks. Sorry, I'm still a bit confused. USB port? This player has a USB port? What USB port are you referring to?
Can I connect a USB DAC like the Predator or Pico to this player?

Thanks for your patience. Perhaps I'm Googling the wrong words but I cannot find a coaxial to USB cable that I would need to connect this player to a USB DAC like the Predator or the Pico.

If I recall correctly, the Predator and Pico are portable USB amps that take in the signals they process (converting them from digital to analogue then amplifying to headphones) through their USB ports, the initial signals of which usually come out of the USB ports of their computers. The portable DVD/CD/MP3 player we are talking about here can also function as such a digital-signal source, similar to a computer, but whose digital signal for processing is accessible from its coaxial port, not from its USB port (which is solely use for inputting MP3 from a flash card). In other words, this DVD/CD/MP3 player in this instance is a digital signal source. not a processor. (Of course, it also -- and primarily -- is a source for an already processed -- but inferior -- analogue signal, which you can access directly with your headphones.) If you want to use a Predator or Pico with this, you'd have to get an adapter to plug into the USB ports of the Predator or Pico so as to plug into them a coaxial cable from the DVD coaxial port of the DVD player. Such adapters have been discussed frequently elsewhere in this forum.

Further to my last posting, you might want to consider acquiring an iBasso D1, if you can locate or wait for one. It has inputs for all three digital methods -- coaxial, optic and USB.
