you want what you want. That's fine. There are multi-CD players still made and sold. "high-end" versions, maybe not. There are multi-changers with a digital output so you can hook them to a separate and high-end DAC, if you want.
Who says they ever made a "high quality" carousel? IMO they never did.
In any case how's this?
Sony CDPCX455 400 Disc MegaStorage CD Changer $369@Amazon
For excellent sound in a large-capacity jukebox CD player, there is only ONE that was EVER made IMO. It is still available, but might not be available for much longer. All the others had very mediocre sound quality IMO.
That is the Sony DVP-CX777ES player, which you can buy for $1999 from Amazon. It is a 400-disc player. It also plays SACD and DVD.
If that's what you really want, I would get one ASAP while they are still available. Sony shows it as "no longer available", but Amazon still has ONE new one and some used ones (for under $500).
The Yamaha CDC-600 5-disc changer is probably the best-sounding 5-disc player you can buy at this time. It sells for around $300 or so.
Gracias for the info, folks. :-)
