CD Changer?


I currently have the SONY CDP-CX90es 200 disc changer. This player sounds great with the rest of my very mediocre stuff. However, I've recently made a major upgrade to my whole system, by buying a whole bunch of stuff from Odyssey Audio - a new pre-amp (Tempest), two mono amps (Stratos) and a new pair of floorstanding speakers (Lorelei). I probably won't receive much of this until mid July.

My question is this - will I be able to get by with my CX90ES, or will it severely handicap my system? I have gotten spoiled by the changer, and don't really want to go back to a single disc player, but I will if I have to. I am very unsatisfied with the system I have now (Yamaha RX-V995 receiver and Polk Audio RM7200 surround) for audio, which is why I am doing this upgrade, and I don't want to be disappointed because of my CD player.

Does anyone have any impressions of my CD player? I don't have much comparison experience in this space so any information will help. If you think I am kidding myself by trying to keep this, are there any other CD changers that you think are good, or should I just stick to the single play ones?

Thanks for any advice you can lend me.

Thanks for the advice! I will wait and see how it is. I currently use Fiber for my connection and would definitely use either that or coax for the connection.
OK, well that is probably the approach I will take, although I may wait until my stuff arrives before getting anything. I was hoping someone had particular experience with my CD player - anyone out there? It had gotten some good reviews as one of the few "decent" jukeboxes when it came out, but I'm not sure how true that was compared to real audiophile stuff.
Please excuse my ignorance - Is this DAC something that plugs in between my premap and the Changer? How much do they go for?
