Anyone using a higher end Yamaha CD player, CD-S1000 to CD-S3000

[JasonM]

Bit of a long shot, but is anyone here using any of the Yamaha higher end CD players, CD-S1000, CD-S2100, CD-S3000.

If so what are your thoughts on them. Read skipping issues are a fault that can occur on these. What are your thoughts on the DAC's on these.

I'm about to pull the trigger on a used CD-S2100 and other than CD player use, want to use it's internal DAC for streaming and digital output from a HTPC.

My DAC at the moment is a Arcam IR with a linear PSU, in fairness it's not bad, but expect the DAC in the CD-S2100 to be better.
