While I save up for a DAC I‘ve connected the optical out of my BDP player to my old MZR35 Minidisc, pressed Record, taken the line out to my amp and Voila! ......music. Sounds good too. Well pleased with myself

Your should try using a 1950s radiogram as a DAC: they really knew how to build them in those days.

I did use it as a minidisc player when I wanted to copy some old guitar riffs from tape to a digital format. Unfortunately the compression brought the tape noies up to high and made the sound from the tape aweful.

Depends how you set the input gain. That inherent compression can be used to an advantage ya know.
