Just curious if this happens to be good or not. It's the second CDP I ever owned, bought at a going out of business sale probably 1998ish to replace my first CDP whose model I don't remember which died shortly before after years of faithful service. I remember that it didn't come with the remote which is why it was cheap and had a burned copy of a Soup Dragons CD in it which I promptly removed with extreme prejudice. At some point after eBay became a thing I did track down a remote for it so I have both pieces.
Back then I didn't really understand the difference in gear, I figured digital was digital and didn't understand, nor did I have the gear to tell, the differences between good and acceptable DACs etc.
Anyway it's never been hooked up to a good system and currently resides on my AV setup and is kind of superfluous. I guess my question is is it even worth keeping? A web search reveals a lot of complaining about them not reading discs (I have not had that problem) but not a lot about sound quality. Is this worth the trouble to unrack it and hook it up to a good two channel system, or is it Goodwill fodder? Also anyone know what DAC chip is in this thing?
