Best CD


I currently use a Pioneer Elite PD-F27 as a transport / CD jukebox (301 discs). I need the jukebox functionality to accomodate my wife's needs and wants, mainly to keep discs and boxes from littering the room. However, the rest of my system is at a different level:
Timbre TT-1 DAC w/ Theta TLC
BAT VK-5 w/ Upscale Audio hotrod tube set
Krell KSA-200S stereo amp
Martin Logan SL3s
Fully balanced throughout. AQ and Analysis Plus cables throughout.

Any thoughts or recommendations on an alternative to the PD-F27, preferably something w/ a few hundred disc capacity? Balanced or glass digital out would be nice too.

Changers are great when coupled with a good DAC and de-jitter unit. I use a Sony ES 300 disc changer into a Perpetual P1/P3 combo and on into my SF Line 3. It all works quite well and gives me rapid access to loads of music.

The Sony changer has a 2-way remote so that all the disc information is available at my finger tips. I can spend hours randomly scanning and selecting music with the remote. For single play my DVP-S7700 serves as an additional input to the P1/P3. Also, with the Sony you can get the Nirvis S-link-e to drive several changers from a computer for mega-automation.
