Hi there everyone -
I am building a new portable setup, and I currently have a Sony D-838K Car Discman that I bought new in about 1995 or 1996.
I haven't got any experience with headphone amps through the line out (but have some hd600s and the supreme on the way - muhahahaha), so I don't know how good it is.
I'm wondering if anyone knows if the sound is meant to be good, particularly in relation to these newer Panasonic ones you guys gush on about all the time.
I was going to just buy a new one, but it has served me well, and the only thing that's required (I think) is a bit of a service, and maybe a laser replacement. Considering the prices you pay for a good new one in Australia, it could still be good value.
Besides, I can't find a good new one with an infrared remote, and I love being able to plug it into the wall, sit back, and control it from there instead of some cheesy little wired 'remote'.
Comments anyone?
