"A cd changer? Let's move on,"
What's wrong with a CD changer?
What CD player do you use, pray tell?
CD Changers are the lowest on the totem pole. I don't have the energy to go into it, but they are compromised in every way. So if that is how you are doing your comparisons, then no wonder.
How many high end companies do you know that make changers? Exactly.
Naim CD5 XS with XPS.

Actually, I did the comparisons on the Paradox/JVC/Prism DA-2 rig.......
But.........
You shouldn't generalize anything like that. The changer I use is a Magnavox 748 modified by Don Allen. People have been retiring four grand players in favor of these mod changers. (Magnavox CDC-748, Marantz CC-45, etc.) Maxed-out, I think they're absolute performers.

Nice player........ Care for a duel?? [-;
Yes, to be fair, I should not generalize. There are some very good changers.
But most would agree they really don't represent the state of the art in cd playback.
Well, speaking of duels, I am going to take a listen to the new CD5 XS and Flatcap XS. My dealer is going to give me a ridiculous trade in if I like it. But I'm not making a lateral move.
