I changed out a tubed shanling cd/sacd player that I absolutely loved for a McIntosh MCD-205 about 18 months ago due to the convienience factor.
The 205 uses the Nak Music Bank changer which seems to be more reliable than carousel changers. McIntosh still stocks replacement parts for these and they are still serviceable.
Sound quality is excellent. I've also connected it to 2 External DACs and found I prefer the sound of the 205s DAC, so you may not need to purchase another box at additional cost, making the Mc a little more reasonable in price. Worth a look if your budget allows.
