Portable CD Player

327 Views 2 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  RayDunzl
I am looking for a portable CD player with no features other than high SQ.

Most important I do not want skip protection as this usually means audio is buffered in compressed format.

Would like a good headphone out as I do not use separate headphone amp.

Bluetooth would be nice, but not essential.

I wouldn't expect it to be buffered in compressed format.

I've seen 10 seconds mentioned - even on a home unit - under 2 meg of RAM required for that, uncompressed 16/44.1

In the broader sense, I should think it unlikely to find any spinning disc CD player without some amount of data buffering.

If the disc could be spun so precisely to supply the bits continuously and unbuffered to the downstream devices, I'd be amazed
All I see for sale is stuff like this:

I'd say the market has moved on to silicon-based file-player solutions.

Of course, those are all cheap enough to try one or three and see what you like.
