Cheap disc players have digital output and expensive AV receivers have
good DACs, so what is the purpose of buying an expensive CD player?

Who has a 'AV Receiver" ? Not me - a CD player and power amp.

FWIW I love the Sony players with the direct entry 20 track buttons. Use
them all the time. On a purely fumctional level...
