The specifications list MP3 and WMA compatibility. Due to the age difference between WAV and WMA, there is also a major difference between the number of devices that are able to play files that are encoded each format. WMA is only supported by more recent devices, including music players. WAV is very simple and almost all devices that are able to play sound are also able to play WAV files. Applications use WAV to ensure that it is able to play the sounds as WAV is often the greatest common denominator between operating systems when it comes to playing sound.I have used the device to play WAV files and it had worked for me.

I don't think it will. It plays MP3 and WMA files (stored on CD or USB) and of course normal CDs. You can always convert WAV files to one of these formats.

No. Don't be like me and get this without realizing that it won't play CDs.

If the CD player has a headphone jack the same size as the one in your ipod or phone or computer, then yes.

If your CD player has red and white outputs, or an output jack, then yes. If it doesn't then no.

Just a caution, the manual says it will not play MP3, WMA, and DivX files. So if you're playing store-bought CDs, no problem, but it won't play your downloaded tunes in those formats.

Yes it will play CDs! When inserted, the laptop will choose the default player like Windows Media Player or iTunes.

Of course it can play audio CDs. And does so very well, from what I've read.http://www.oppodigital.com/dv980h/dv980h_features.aspI don't own it yet, buying it for my audio system as a universal CD/SACD/DVD-Audio player.

Some CD players also have a digital coax output and this unit can accept this input (better sound than RCA). So, yes.

No, it does not play CDs. You can still listen to music on it through headphones though.

Yes, it can use ASIO, WAV or WAVRT. I use Mixcraft with a Lexicon Alpha USB Interface

Yes and no depending on the specifics of your question that I'm lacking. It can play a "burned" CD-R. If you are referring to playing music off a CD-R that is in data only format, it cannot. There is no USB port on this system. Hope this helps.

Yes, that would work just fine as long as you have a digital out on your player. You'll get remarkably improved definition if your CD player has a typical built in DAC.
