Mark, the D-5 does have optical out? Or is it just in?

Pretty much what John said.

To me the the D-5 & Sony r500 are the only two home decks that are built like tanks or worth even buying used. If you buy one used, send it in to checked out & cleaned, even if it ends up not needing it. Pro Digital will do it and with a quicl turnaround ...

kevin, the great thing about the d-5 is with the optical, you can go to pretty much any cd burner and MD, and you can use the xlr and aes in an archiving or board taping scenario.  do it.

Just thought I would throw this in... But I got a Sony DTC-A6 off ebay for $125. The guy said it had low hours (but who knows!) and it was in great shape.

I've never had any problems with it, even with 90m tapes, and I use it for unpacking tapes and playback/transfers

It dosn't have many features, but I don't really care since I don't record with it. And SCMS isn't a issue since I don't do DAT > DAT anymore.

D5 came while I was in San Diego.  Seems to be a winner.
