I was introduced to this budget CD source, the LG DV-522P (with co-axial digital output) by a neighbour. He wanted to determine the quality of audio output from it.
The LG DV-522P is a budget DVD player with literally no visible display, only a red LED once power-up. There is provision for a USB source. The unit is RC capable but he had misplaced the RC. Hence we used my "newish" universal remote instead (works like a charm - topic for another post).

| No display with only LED to indicate piower-on |

| Only basic RCA outputs on rear |
As my neighbour does not own a DAC, we decided to test the unit via the analogue L-R outputs hooked up to my budget valve EL-34 integrated amplifier (... budget src to budget amp, fair right?) which was paired to the DIY LS 3/5A and matching subwoofer.
I must say I was quite impressed with the results. The presentation was respectable for the price range😮😲! Who would have thought such a budget combination could deliver any impressive result.
Would have loved to have more listening time with this little mighty mouse...
