I'm looking at portable CD players and am wondering - If I'm using "line out" to an amp to K701s - would the quality of the portable CD player affect the sound in any way?
My understanding is that "line out" bypasses all the internals, and it's those internals which are usually crap in the cheaper players. Since (if I understand correctly) I'm bypassing those components, would I be okay getting a cheap line out equipped player from Best Buy (and cheap 2 year replacement warranty) and going on my way?
I'm looking at these two:

Thanks.
