The best 5 disc CD Changer.

I am looking for opinions and recommendations for the best 5 disc cd player available on the market. I would like to run the changer directly into my Wadia, so the cd changer must have digital ouputs. I recently purchased a Sony SCD C333ES for this purpose; however, the Sony only allows you to use the digital outputs for regular CD playback which defeats part of the purpose of buying the C333ES. I like the CAL CL-10, but they are very difficult to find since the model has been discontinued.

Any thoughts and/or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

From what you described the Sony 333ES is exactly what you want. It has a coaxial digital output which you could connect to your Wadia's digital input. The Sony does not offer a digital output for SACD formatted disc, but your Wadia wouldn't be able to decode them even if the Sony did. There are no currently available multi-disc players to output a SACD digital signal.

Am I the only person who finds jrouten's use of the phrase "jap" distasteful to the extreme? Since these forums are moderated, I expect better from Audiogon.
