Any Decent Sounding Multiple CD Players?

Looking for advice: I am putting together an office system and would like the convenience of a multiple CD player, so I don't have to get up and change CD's every hour. I don't really need to have a player that plays 25 or more discs; even a five disc player would be a great convenience. My office system will have an Audio Note (tube) integrated, Rogers LS3/5A speakers. I don't want to spend more than $500 by the way. Any thoughts or recommendations for multiple CD players would be appreciated.

If you can find a Phillips carousel you be satisfied.And you might get one for about 200.00. Nice sound. If you can find a used CAL {California audio Labs} used 5 CD carousel you be tickled pink. GOOD LUCK.And you cant go wrong with a Sony ES.

Get the MSB Link DAC and hook it up to the Aiwa XC-35 sold by Best Buy, J&R Music World, etc. Get you a decent Toslink cable (yes, this combo sounds better with Toslink). If you shop around you could find this setup for around $500.00 or a little more, but it will cremate, stomp, and wipe out any 5-disc changer at even twice the price. Just remember the Link DAC takes forever to break-in - sounds 2-D and crude new out of the box. Also, the Aiwa is a cheap little clunker but sounds good using it as a transport for the Link DAC. The Adcom and Denon changers might be a tad better sounding as transport (and much better built and better sounding as stand-alones), but for $500-$600 the Aiwa/MSB with Toslink can't be beat. Read the reviews in Stereophile, Bound For Sound, SoundStage, and others.
