I currently use the CD section of a two box Denon DF101 mini system as a CD transport feeding my Musical Fidelity V-DAC. Whilst I'm very happy with the overall sound from my part-DIY system, I would like to remove the DF101 from the chain, largely because I also have to have the Denon amplifier connected, purely to enable the CD remote to operate. I also have an old Sony DVD player, and I am planning to remove a few boxes from my rack by buying a new DVD or Blu Ray player, both as a CD transport and as a video source. Blu Ray would be nice but not essential.
I am unclear as to:-
1. Will a budget Blu Ray or DVD player output a raw digital audio signal that can be processed by my DAC? I was thinking of the Sony BDPS 370 Blu Ray, or a Cambridge DVD99?
2. If possible, are the options above likely to result in a significant difference in sound from my current CD transport?
Any alternative suggestions, on a max £150 budget, very welcome
