I have to take exception with Metralla on the Sony SCD-C333ES, and the 555ES. Having owned them, they may have been great in their day, but I wouldn't have one today! If you look carefully at the ads for sale of them, there's always something wrong with them. Either they don't play discs correctly, or the transports have to be replaced, etc. I bought a C333ES from a very reputable Audiogonner (name withheld) and the transport had been replaced by him. Four months later, the whole front display went out, and Sony said it couldn't be fixed, so it was off to the garbage can. IMHO, these 2 models are not reliable.
I now have, in addition to my McIntosh MVP861 player, 3-Sony DVP-NC685V universal dvd chagers that play all formats, including SACD, and for 4 years now none of them has skipped a beat. The 5-disc carousels are quiet, and work great. AND they can be had rather cheaply. Sony makes several models that will fill your bill.
