Either device can be made but demand is too low to cover development.

A precident for the kind of player that Cal is looking for
might be the HHB Burn-It 830 CD burner.

http://www.hhb.co.uk/hhb/usa/hhbproducts/cdr830plus/index.asp

Note the XLR I/O.

However, the output level control only controls the
headphone output. And, it doesn't do DVDs at all.

Under the covers, its a repackaged Aiwa.

I don't think he's looking for a president.

I'm sure he'll run out and buy one on the spot.

Another stellar recommendation by you.
