Hi-end CD 5-disk Changers?

I'd like to know if there are any high-end CD 5-disk changers available. I don't need SACD or DVD just yet as I wait for the format wars to play out. I don't want to buy an external DAC to connect to the changer as I already have a good single CDP (Audio Aero Prima) to listen to. The 5-disk changer is to please the wife so that when we're entertaining she doesn't have to get me to change the music after each disk finishes . . . I know there are lots of cheap and low-fi brands out there which I'd like to stay away from.

Thanks for your help.

Kevin - I have actually come to same conclusion and have bought 5 SACDs in anticipation of getting the Sony C2000 which appears to be an damn good bargin. You know, I got the idea for a multi-disc changer when, about 6 years ago, we were at a Christmas party and the homeowner had Spica TC60s in a bedroom system which used an Onkyo 6 disc changer for background music in the rear hall and bathroom area. I went in, sat down, and heard very warm musical sounds and enjoyed it quite a bit. That got me thinking and looking for a multi-disc changer even though every 'audiophile' buddy I talked to poo-poo'd it.

The inexpensive CE-595 is said to performe well too at a $149 tag. I did prefer the 2000ES because a few additional features.

ALMOST. I am looking for Hi-Quality *** DVD *** Changer. NAD best to date but I have limited comparison ability. SACD; DVD-A -- don't care.

Here is a totally different solution.
Buy an Apple Airport Express and download ITunes ont your computer.
Then you can wirelessly stream all the music you want and shuffle all day without getting up once.
Then buy a wonderful single disc player for serious listening
