Best high end multi-disc player as transport?


I am looking for experienced recommendations of high end multi-disc cd players (with a coaxial out) to use as a transport. Thank you,

This truly is an untapped area - if Krell. Levinson, Accuphase or Electrocompaniet ever invested in this they couldn't keep them in stock. Krell invested in a receiver that never took off (2 channel only) - they could easily recoop with this idea.
I owned an Anthem - it makes a lot of noise when changing disc - not many have coax outs - the California Labs CL 10 was better - I also owned it. You may want to consider a Sony or other DVD carousel because they do have coax outs and can double as your video source - they make good transports and some even have SACD capability if that interest you .
I use a Sony 5 disc DVD changer as one of my transports to a Kora Hermes tube DAC with 24/192 upsampling - I also have an Electrocompaniet ECM player as a transport hooked to the Kora . It sounds really great and is really hard to distinguish from the Electro through the Dac . I don't know what the advantage would be in the music area with a Dvd player as a transport other than it does have a coax digital out rather than just a toslink which most regular changers have. The coax is suppose to be a better transmitter of the digital signal.
