    The DACs are pretty outdated. Parts are expensive and/or unobtainium.
    I think you could do better for the money.

    Depending on what you get it for, it's a good player. I have Installed many of them with great results. Some of my old clients really love it. One guy has one along with a rack full of older Pioneer Elite gear. He just swapped out his vsx29tx for a vsx84txsi. It even sound great in his system. He has Monitor Audio speakers.

    Pretty sure the PD-71 does not have the stable platter. That was on the PD-65 and PD-75, and PD-s95 (and possibly the PD-93). The ones with the stable platter make excellent transports for a high end DAC.

    Old people like it?

    I had the newer much higher tech DV47Ai and didn't care for it. Just didn't have any heart somehow. Never could quite put my finger on it.
