DVD player as a CD transport?

I use a Sony 7700 as a transport, and prefer it to CAL Delta which I also own. I believe some DAC manufacturers recommend using a DVD.

Most find that digital coax is preferred.

I am running a Sony 7700 into my Krell HTS and then the digital out of the Krell into my DAC when I listen to audio CD's. Works like a charm and sounds great.

I have a Faroudja DVD player that I used for a trasport for a while. It was $5,500 new but they go for about $800 used being they were a first generation player. Not only is the picture quality some of the best I have ever seen but the sound quality blows me away. I think the sound was designed by EAD and it really gives my Class transport a run for its money. The sound quality is so good that I dont have any interest in replacing it with a newer player.
