any update for dap? how can only 4... and 2 of them is discontinued... the other 2 are too big...

Was looking at the Archos stations that fits 605 player. They do Digital Coax, not optical toslink. If the Dac supports it, can try that.

 

[spideyman409]

yes very sad indeed.

I've been looking for a DAP with optical out and the archos is too big to even be considered portable. I guess if you want to push the line....you could put up a weak argument that it is portable. =/

I'm thinking about buying sony D-NE830 from Japan. The OP did state that it have optical out but it seems like its not updated since so I'm really not sure. Can anyone here chime in and verify if the optical out work? I'm thinking about putting it together with ibasso d10

EDIT: nvm it doesn't have optical out.

 

[qusp]

yes and i'm pretty sure the pacemaker doesnt have digital out either. can anyone confirm or deny this??

Scored a used Panasonic SL-SX510 PCDP (not in the list) that has both optical out and analog lineout for $8 in a local store.

Also saw a Kenwood that has optical out that isn't in the list, should have taken down the model number. It uses 4xAA which scares me.

As I believe I reported way earlier in this thread, I have the LG DVD player with the digital out, which I've been using successfully for about a year now. It's often on sale at Radio Shack and it's highly rated by Consumer Reports. Not only does it play DVD's but also MP3. Unfortunately for me, I'm stuck with DVD's as otherwise I prefer flac encoding to mp3.

The recent version of portable DVD players supports more codecs, compact and cheap too and sometime better than PCDP too.

I took a look at the specs of the first 40 or so on the list you provided earlier, and they're pretty much limited to either MP3 or WMA playback. Regretfully, not any of them seems to play flac-encoded music. But thanks for your research.

 

[bakhtiar]

Yes, I still cannot find the one which can play FLAC files, BUT, but, it still can play CDDA (CD Digital Audio) just like normal PCDP, and guest what, it plays DVD, DivX too.

A bit bulky, but PDVDP also can be a good alternative to PCDP.

Thank you.
