Help Best 5-disc cd-changer...........

Hi,
I am looking for a really good 5-disc Cd changer. My Yamaha cdc 735 finally died after 15 years of service. I am now looking for a new changer, but I would like to know what you guys think. I am partial to Yamaha....I was looking at the C-750.(Iwas going to pair it up with the PS Audio DLIII DAC) I would really like to get the new sony SCD-XA5400ES, but its a single cd player. Can't decide!!

Thanks for your help.

I changed my Reimyo cdp777 - considered one of the best CDP for the Wadia 170i and a Reimyo DAC, it is that good.

There are only a few choice if you want a 5-disc changer - Yamaha CDC-697, the above-mentioned Sony 595 and 2000ES, Rotel 1055, Denon 390/290 and Marantz (don't remember the number). Based on what I've read, it seems that Yamaha is the most reliable of them all.

May I suggest an older Sony 5 disc changer like my C222 or a C555? Then have it modded by SACDmods ( check out his website ) or other reputable modder. Those old Sonys are built like tanks, thoroughly reliable and $200 to $400 on Audiogon or Ebay. Add $450 or a bit more for the upgrade and you have a great CDP for under a grand. My total cost for the cdp, mods, including shipping was about $700. I've been using mine for three years, 4 to 6 hour a night, every night with no problems. Great detail and imaging. I have no connection with SACDmods.
