Very Best Cd Changer to drive outboard DAC?

I have the high-end sound with a single disc player...but some evenings, I just want to be able to put on a 4 or 5 discs and not have to get up to change the music. So, the question is, what is the best cd changer that I can use to feed a very good outboard DAC..so that my being lazy does not give up good sound?

Thanks for your thoughts.

It is not the very best changer per se, but the Aiwa XC-35M or XC-37M makes a very good transport. One of those accidents that just happens. No longer made, but available a lot on eBay for $50 to $75. You can spend a lot more money, but not sure you'll get better performance.

Works best with DAC's with Delta/Sigma converters.

I've used the new Rotel RCC-1055 as a transport fed into my Resolution Audio Opus 21 DAC. The Rotel is well built, looks good, and has a detachable power cord. It's almost impossible to discern the difference in sound playing discs on the Rotel vs. the Opus -- it's that good!

I think Proceed made an audiophile "super" changer transport years ago. It was based on a commercial CD juke box mechanism, so it should be rugged and hold a lot of CD's. Very expensive, and I would think very rare.
