People call this King of the Sony Discman. Ebay used to have super high price on this item.
I own one before and the line out is super. Phone out is not that powerful but very good for female vocal.

All I can say is ... I'm glad to be rid of those cumbersome units.
If you want WAY, WAY better sound portably, get a QLS-QA350 (that has SPDIF), or Teclast T51/S:Flo2. So much more convenient, if you EAC-rip your CDs, as you can throw so man albums onto a single (tiny) SD memory card.
The Philips PET724 could play 24/96 DVDs, it still does not sound anywhere close to the DAPs I noted above. The HiFiman 801 can do high-rez up to 24/96 I think. The Fiio X3 is due out shortly ... that should do 24/192
Those old Discman are inconvenient and unreliable (esp. with age). Think forward, folks!
