Help me choose a decent, cheap, single-disc cd player with digital out
Hello all-
I'm looking to replace a junky old jvc cd/md player that I have hooked up to an MSB Link DAC. My biggest gripe with the jvc unit was the time it took to load and cue a cd. It took forever! So this time around I'm looking for something that will get the music playing pronto. I don't know how to put this concept in audiophile parlance. What do you call the spec that I'm referring to? And can anyone out there recommend something that would fit the bill? It needs to be quick, solid-built, and have decent controls and digital out. Ideally on the bottom side of $300 US.
Many thanks.
