Can a DAC do double duty?

Man, I miss my Pioneer Elite CD Player!!!  Yours is a6 CD version?  Still running good without any laser issues at all?

That elite stuff was awesome. I still have my Elite PD65, and it still sounds lovely. It took something quadruple the price to outdo that monster. Finally replaced it with a Marantz SA7S1. Both are very sweet and more analog sounding than most, but the Marantz is more precise and refined in the drum and vocal reproduction. I am glad you got your question answered and shared a blast from the past with us.

LOVE that the Elite player got some attention!😊

I did have to have the “arm” replaced as a cd came loose somehow and jammed up everything. My local guy said “it wasn’t worth fixing because of cost”, and he wasn’t sure he could get the part needed. I literally said “I don’t care what it costs please do whatever you can. It ended up around $300 but truthfully I’d have paid double! I’m a cd guy, always have been…

@amtprod not sure if it’s A6 version? Got her off EBay a few years ago. In a previous life I had the PD-F908 and sold that one after my divorce. A few years ago when I got back into the game the first thing I looked for was a Pioneer carousel. Came across the Elite and pounced!

@asvjerry B. Joel Glass Houses is a true Time Machine for me. “Sleeping With the Television on” (does not get any better than the intro to that one😌 brings me right back to the old days when you’d fall asleep watching a movie and wake up to the snowy screen with that playing), and “ I Don’t Want To Be Alone Anymore”. IMHO those were BJ’s best and most underrated songs. Not sure why they never got the airtime…memory lane man, doesn’t get any better…

Just buya external dvd,Blu-ray  with a usb A on one end which you need to rip CDs 

these multi disc are NG the bigger the platter the more the wobble.
