Portable CD player with Digital Output

Look for a Radio Shack Optimus 3400 (remember them?)on the used market. It has a digital output on a mini jack. Radio Shack also sells a mini stereo>RCA adapter that works very well. I used the 3400 into a Audio Alchemy DITB into a Headroom amp for headphone listening. Very satisfying.

check out the Citizen players. I don't remember what model I got a few months back (from amazon or ebay), but as long as you defeat the anti-skip feature it sounds quite organic. I'm pleased with it.

Sony D-NE920 is a current production unit with digital out. I have purchased one to use with Headroom micro amp and micro dac for portable use.

Vicks7, according to Sony's website, this unit only has a mini-jack for headphones out, not even a line output! But for a electronics giant like Sony, they have one of the WORST website that I've ever seen!

Check out the I-river Imp series. The cd player I have from them, the imp 550 kicks serious butt. I can't say enough about this cd player. And it has line out and optical out. It is also razer thin.
