[usc goose]

there is a huge list of recommended cd players. and all of them are a pain in the ass to get.

the required reading is here

 

[D-EJ915]

The JDM D-E905 was the D-900??, likewise, the D-EJ915 is the D-985 and the D-EJ925 is the D-999...anyway

Here my take for best PCDP with portable amp:

Antishock Model
1)Sony D-515
2)Sony D-E900/E905
3) Sony D-777
4) Panasonic SL-S651C or SX-S500

Old school (no antishock)
1) D-303, D-311, D-515 depend on your taste (D-311, and D-515 offer similar silky and smooth sound)
2) D-555
3) d-35
I forgot now...I'll update later

as Purk has mentioned, the D515, D311. E905... and to me D211 are all highly regarded. I'm picking up a D34 Discman (iirc) on Saturday, so i'll see what I think of that, seeing that the D33 seems to be a highly respected model around these parts (and I still haven't listened to one

)

So what, in the great enigma that Sony's numbering system presents, is a D-34?

 

[cyclonite]

The D-25 is the best from what I heard everywhere

Btw, I own a D-245 any comments on this one?

Thanks.

 

[cyclonite]

Btw are there any SACD portable players/discman out there yet?

Maybe i'm just being stupid... i'll find out on Saturday hopefully (although, don't forget that the European & Far Eastern model numbers differed from the US model numbers for a number of years

No... none yet so far as I know

...and if the D245 is anything like the D345, its not so bad, but very gray sounding... not too much in the way of life, but is an honest sound that'd probably suit grados quite well

No, no, I'm not saying there isn't such a thing, I've just never heard of one (which doesn't mean a lot) and thought you might know more. From reading between the lines I got the impression you might be implying (note me getting really careful) it was related to the D-33? Wouldn't that be to easy, if the D-33 had a relative, I bet they'd have called it D-41 or something less obvious

 

[strohmie]

The D-34 is nearly or completely cosmetically identical to a D-33.

Is this it?

Do you know about any internal differences?

 

[Duncan]

This was my suspect player (very poor picture i'm afraid)

 

[strohmie]

...Duncan, that looks suspiciously like a D-11...was it listed as a D-34?

And yes, PeterR, that's the one. Not sure about the differences...sometimes the difference is as simple as inclusion of a car kit...
