Looking for a small and portable CDP like Sony discman.
Stereophile said the Sony Playstation is good as a CDP but looks rather large.
Follow Ups:
Most of the Denon DCP series
Jensen on Amazon, includes FM tuner cheap and works well.
Sony is the pick for really good sounding Discmans;
D15/D150, D25/D250, D555
Hard to find in good working condition now.
I bought a D5 when they first came out. (I still have it in its box in the basement.) I always thought it sounded flat and sort of "dead". (Its motor was also noisy.) But it's from the very early days of DACs, and I imagine its brick wall filter is at a pretty low frequency.
I did hear a story once that the head of Sony at the time (early 1980's) came to his engineers with a demand. He had a block of wood, with a top surface the size of a CD case, and he told his engineers to build a CD player no larger than that. He even signed the block so they couldn't substitute a larger one. The result was the D5. Not sure the story's true, but I wouldn't be surprised.
generation 1 play station, I replaced it with a sony 707...
Years ago I had good results w/ a 'Portable CD-ROM drive
But they have been obsolete nearly as long...
Happy Listening
