Default CD player vs. DVD player

A few years back, there was a comparative test of DVD players for use as
transports with external DACs. It was found that many players have
unacceptably high levels of jitter on digital outputs. However, Pioneer DVD
players were excellent. I believe Toshibas were rather poor in this
measurement.


A decently designed DAC should filter the jitter though ( actually that'll be in
the clock-recovery circuitry ).
