Hello rec.audio.proers,

I'm looking for current CD or DVD players that do report the spdif
validity flag from the coaxial digital output.

It's for loading into a workstation like Sadie. I have one player left
here that does, a Pioneer DV-340, but it has terrible error correction
so the smallest defect in a CD is audible as a glitch or skip (Pioneer
so far has the honor of worst CD playback I can find, a very valuable
thing in my business). OTOH, I can take any cheap $75 player that will
correct practically every error but they don't report the validity
flag even on a terribly damaged, glitching, muting CD.

Thanks for any help
