Any recommendation for a CD changer?

Yeah, used would be fine. I'll probably just look thrift stores and Goodwil for one. 

It's not toslink nor coax. It's Stan Warren's proprietary digital cable. With the 2.1mm micro jack ...with two wires connected to Led light. Can't find that part, otherwise I'd solder it myself. 

It's a cable with the jack at one end and toslink led at the other. I have no idea how it works. Never saw toslink connector wired with copper wires - this must be only a led light. I called someone in Eugene OR Stan is retired now. If there is a way to post pictures on this forum I would. Thanks man!

Lol soix, nearly every piece of equipment I have is an old technology- hell, my DAC is from 1994. :)

They didn't chew on it. They ran right through the bundle of cables when they were chasing each other behind the rack. Unfortunately I don't have any sound now smooth or otherwise right now.  But I am shocked it lasted this long. Over twenty years...until I introduced the new kitten, that likes to play a lot. 

I tried. The contact information isn't good anymore. I talked to the used audio store owner in Eugene, OR. He knew him and would try to help me, but I haven't heard from him back. I even sent him the photos of the cables. He told me that he (Stan) was getting "pretty old."

Hi, thanks I am not nowhere near Chicago. Thanks. 

How about the DvD/cd changers? 

I experimented and connected regular RCA jack instead of the led. Plugged it into the coax input of my DAC and it worked!  I got some great recommendations from all of you, and maybe it's time to upgrade my transport anyway without spending too much. 

The reviews of CDT 6000 keep popping up in my YouTube feed, titled as the "last transport you'll ever need" 

Hi rockrink, I ended up with fixing the proprietary cable by replacing the damaged optical end with the rca coax connector. So I kept Aiwa changer. 

Rooze that looks cool. Good recommendation!
