So, a little background on my search. A while ago I picked up a Sony DVP S7700 for a very reasonable price with the hope of using it as a source. Shortly after it arrived it developed major transport issues (ah, the joy of used gear). Around the same time I picked up a NIB Toshiba 3950 with the hope of modding it to use as a transport with an external DAC. Long story short the Toshiba was out on loan to a to a friend who called this morning to let me know that it gave up the ghost last night when he tried to watch a movie with it
. So, if you can't tell, my luck with sources these days blows. And investing any money in getting either of these repaired seems like a complete waste unfortunately.
So I'm on the hunt again for a good quality transport. I've got a DAC (see here) which sounds better than the Sony or Toshiba so I think I'll be content to use it for a while. My budget is not fixed but is certainly less than $500 considering that all this thing will be doing is spinning a disc and sending a digital signal to Monica.
Thoughts, suggestions, creative ways to destroy a broken player?
Thanks,
Nate
