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.

It is probable that their own analog outputs had less jitter.

However, Pioneer DVD players were excellent. I believe Toshibas were
rather poor in this measurement.

Any well-designed DAC will not be degraded by a digital input that has lots
of jitter. Once upon a time DACs were susceptible to this, but now even the
digital input on a low-cost surround receiver can handle this sitaution.
