I am referring to minidisc decks. I am pretty sure many of the ones
currently on the market only have analog out. If you look at this sight
http://www.video-direct.com/sony/minidisc/compare.html
you will notice that only 2 of the 4 decks have some form of digital out.
Also, my sharp 722 doesn't have a digital out. It only has analog out.

Since the original Sony MZ-1 portable, which had both digital in and out, no
portable recorder that I can think of do not have digital outputs. But It
would
have to be a very cheap MD player not to have one.
I just realized this very second, you may be referring to CD players and not
MD
decks. As far as CD decks go, perhaps someone on the list knows of a site
on
the internet that has an equipment browser for CD equipment, like MD does.
