Hi folks,

I bought a CD player marked Shure P6000.

It is not new and not particularly high end (it is a 2X 16 bit and has
a couple of PCM56P-J inside) but did not sound worse than a Sony 228
and was within my reach, economically.

I plan to upgrade the DACs selection to K or L which is the one that IMO
can be called Hi-Fi: the specs say less than 1% THD @ -40dB (if memory
serves, anyway a level which is rather likely to be populated by a lot
of classical and jazz music :-) ) while unselected DACs have good noise
specs at 0 dB i.e. when the walls come tumbling down, tumbling down..

Now to the point: that P6000 has a connector marked sub-code out: what
was it for? what can you do with it?  A repairman said I could use that
socket to read data from a PC which might be interesting but I do not
know how.

Could I use that to make a digital output?

Thanks for your help!
