Started a cd collection about 2 years ago, i play them on an old laptop connected to my speakers but it's quite inconvenient and looks ugly, i want a dedicated device but most cd players i can find are either: (1) plastic ewaste from the factory that looks terrible and has integrated bt+speakers+radio+a million things i don't want nor need. (2) old discmans missing pieces or with limited functionality. (3) some hi-fi grade thing that costs $350. Meanwhile, i can get a boring old dvd player that looks half decent on facebook for $15, i'm just not sure about what the issues could be? i'm looking for one with an integrated screen so i won't need a tv connected to it at all times. (and if i decide to connect it to a tv later on, will the player show the album art or is that data not in the audio cd?). (i want something with a dac and a line output -rca or 3.5mm-, not just a transport) Thanks is advance!   submitted by   /u/Bug_Next   to   r/audio [link]   [comments]
