Hi-end CD 5-disk Changers?

The Rotel (rcd-1055) has a full-size removable IEC type... I don't think the Marantz does - that's one reason I also looked into the Rotel. I'd have been happy to buy the Marantz, but I really don't like cheap captive power cords with my gear. I'd even settle for a removable DVD/CD type (the little figure-8 shaped cord) so I could at least use an Audioquest NRG1 or an IEC adapter with it. Go to the manufacturer's website and download the .PDF manuals and look at the diagrams - that's the best way to research this particular question.

I still haven't made a purchase. Rotel, just like NAD has an absolutely lousy retail presence and can't be bought online except through certain circumstances.

bored so I looked up some info for you....between the Sony above and these 2 changers are looking good for the money.

Well built good looking machine w/HDCD,Detachable power cord,2years parts and labor @$700 us retail.

Thanks Michaelbr, MWilson, and Clbeanz for your respective info.
I think the McIntosh may be out of my price league for now (after all it's a CD changer and the cash could be spent on upgrading my speakers instead) but the Sony, Rotel, Denon and Marantz are all contenders.

MWilson - thanks for the info on the replacable power cords for Rotel & Marantz.

Clbeanz - there is a current Denon model called DCD380. Last year's models were called DCM as in DCM460 and DCM560. Is the model you refer to last year's model or is it a typo and really is this year's model? Apparently here in Canada the DCM models are discontinued items (so will have to consider used).

Sony - anyone know if the 333/555ES have detachable power cords?

No Detachable powercords on the Sony 333/555's, however an IEC could be added easily. The Denon 360/460 units are featherlight mostly plastic more entry level type 5 disc changers.

SACDmods.com will add an IEC adapter along with their other mods. I will caution that I haven't heard stellar redbook play from this line of Sony players. SACD is great.

Cheers.
