The Discman is back!

[LucAce]

Fiio releases a mobile CD player in the style of a Discman.
The good thing about the device is that it is supposed to have a TOSLINK output and can therefore be connected to most WiiM products.
Further information can be found here, among others:

Sounds like an affordable CD transport with a battery to me.

Here's my solution - Hitachi lg70 front loader (45 euro) - playing via Lyrion Music Server . Can play to any endpoint with track metadata

This is great news for all CD enthusiasts like myself which are screaming for a quality, affordable CD player or Transport, even though at US $179 its not "crazy cheap".. can´t find further info on the Fiio site, so this must be very last minute. On another thread (and forum) it seems like Fosi was working on one as well.

Overpriced, and no remote
