That doesn't compute.  The CD player should still be putting out a digital
signal, just as it does between tracks or during caesuras.  Maybe there's
something wrong with the CD player that it can't read those spots on the CD,
or wrong with the CD at those places, or wrong with the MD platter at the
places where those passages were to be written to it (if Rat was trying to
record from the beginning of the CD to the same MD in the 702mk as in the
R30).

Rat, are you listening to the CD while you copy it?  Can you hear the music
through the CD player's DAC at those spots?  Can you hear it through the
MD recorder's DAC while it is recording the places where you get dropuots? 
It just doesn't sound logical that the CD player can send the data of an
audible signal to its own DAC but the data of a silent signal to its digital
output jack.

Hmm.  Maybe it can convert the PCM from the CD to analog audio, but it messes
up converting it to S/PDIF?
