I`m planning to buy a CD player in the next couple of months and have
been doing some shopping around. I noticed that the Sony player has a
25-pin D connector on the back. Does anyone know what signals are pro-
vided there? I would assume the digital signal is there in some form.

The EE dept. here at purdue is getting some TMS320 equipment donated
by TI, and a couple of us are interested in building a digital equalizer. 
I`d like to find a CD that makes the digital signal available so I can
interface the two without having to go through an D/A - A/D pair.

I am also extremely interested in digital output from CD's (and those
digital cassette recorders - how 'bout digital input).  Does anybody
have one? Has anybody tried interfacing it to anything?

Sorry, folks-the 25 pin connector apparently doesn't include a digital output.
Audio magazine had a review of the CDP-701 and was disappointed to find out
that the connector housed sundry control functions only.  SIGH...

I may be wrong but I think I'm not,
