CD player with JUST S/PDIF output?

[silvering520]

Hey Everyone,

I'm looking to buy a dedicated CD player for use with my new receiver, but I only need it to have digital output, not any inbuilt DAC/RCA-out functionality. I'd prefer the CD player to be quite small (at least in height), so that it perches on top of the receiver.

Does such a CD player exist? I've looked about, but most of the main companies seem to sell high-end CD players with digital output as an extra to high quality RCA output, which I don't need, and which I suspect add a great deal of bulk to the device.

Some body suggest me buy it from [spam removed] but i don't know much about it.
Any recommendations would be appeciated, and I'm happy to look at older hardware, including stuff available only second-hand.

Thanks!

Take a CD-ROM with digital-out and command buttons on the bezel (like Creative had once). Beware that the digital out is TTL and not S/P-DIF ( 2 resistors suffice ;) however).

Is it so hard to find a SAP CD-Player with digital-out? I thought that except for the first models all of them featured at least one digital output?!:confused:

I think the main point of the post was the spam URL that I removed. :p
