Any Decent Sounding Multiple CD Players?

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.

The basic flaw in any multiple CD player for under $500 is the less than great D/A converters and output stage you will get. Just about any major brand Cd player (with digital out) will be fine IF you also pick up a used separate D/A converter. Since this is for office use, it doesn't have to be the very best!

The CAL Audio Labs CL 10 is a great sounding player at any price andjust as important in the office it is fast changing and quiet!!!
