Looking for new (to me) cd player suggestions

I'm sorry, I don't even know what that means! What's a dac and how does one use it as a transport only? I put CDs in it and play them through my system.
On verdiniuts suggestion, I brought my old pioneer DVD player upstairs and hooked it up to the NAD 317 and the kestrel hotrods. And the sub. Sounds fantastic!!!

CDs are digital. Either you have a DAC in your player convert the digital to analog (DAC stands for digital to analog conversion), using the analog outputs of your player, or you connect to an outboard dac/receiver digitally so it can do the conversion (thus using the optical disc player as a transport only). Your player has both types of connections. Since you're getting good audio from another player, it's somewhat a moot point now, enjoy!
