Thanks for your input.

Also, the Bryston BCD-1 (no longer produced) has a discrete output stage. Undoubtedly there are numerous others at all kinds of price points, at least among CD (as opposed to SACD) players, but those come to mind immediately. Regards, -- Al

In other words, what is to be achieved w/ this particular design? Keep me posted & Happy Listening!
