I have a Rotel RCC-1055 5 Disc changer that I purchased back in 2003. Besides excellent build quality it has HDCD playback which is extremely hard to find especially in a changer. Some artists with extensive HDCD catalogs include the Grateful Dead, the Doors, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Roxy Music, and King Crimson. I use separates for standard Redbook CD playback (CD transport / standalone DAC) but the RCC-1055 is definitely worth hunting down in the used market. I hope mine never dies!
A move has me thinking of a CD changer....?
I have moved to a city that is too far away for any quality FM stations....ie: no Jazz, no NPR/public radio stations..etc. simply two or three Country stations...
I have a very good extensive CD collection and both of my systems CD players are single disc players....so the question is, are there any good sounding CD changers? I could also use a changer with an outboard DAC. And no, I am not putting down Country music, it is just not what I choose to listen to. And to me, online/streaming is too limited in the dynamic range and frequency band width.
