Last I knew, there was no way to get an MD player with such an output except by purchasing an expensive non-portable-type unit. All the consumer MDs (IIRC, owing to some idea about keeping piracy down) lack digital outs. Rather a pain for those of us who are trying to use them to copy our own performances of our own music.
