Is there a good 5 disc CD player out there ???

The Rotel RCC-1055 is a very good changer - brother to the siingle player RCD-1072 - a very highly regarded CDP.

A 5 disc cd player is just a convience item for back gound music

For 4-5k you could get into a computer-based system with a very nice DAC (I like my PSA Perfect Wave). I expect you could make it sound quite good, and you'd have *more* of the convenience which is presumably a central attraction of a changer. John

Thank you to all who responded. My wife will be happy to know I'll only need to spend a few hundred dollars on a replacement CD changer.

I will be putting a system together where, right now, a changer is a must have. It will be comprised of the Creek Classic 5350 SE, powering Epos 12i or Dynaudio Focus 110 or Nola Boxers, with the Marantz CC 4003 changer. I know the changer is the weak link in the chain. Spoke with Marantz and several dealers that carry it, and they didn't think it would embarrass itself. Might consider adding the Cambridge DacMagic. I'll keep you posted.
