Thank you all for your responses. The oppo looks nice but as I understand it if playing from the usb hard drive they would have to turn the tv on every time in order to choose and play a ripped cd. If so, I will stick with the 5 or 6 disc changer. If any of you have recommendations for a good sounding one, that would be greatly appreciated. Denon, Marantz and Philips have been mentioned. They are currently using a sony dvd/cd player NC800H.

This is true, but most people know how to turn on their TV. I think it would be a lot easier than learning how to use a computer audio system. You can do everything from the OPPO remote control.
I got into computer audio nearly three years ago, but I didn't like using the computer for audio playback. When I discovered the OPPO BDP-105D, it was the perfect solution for me because I like watching movies and streaming Netflix just as much as I like listening to music. My system is fully balanced and that's why I went with the OPPO BDP-105D with its balanced outputs. Now, the OPPO BDP-105D is the heart of my entertainment system. I play it several hours every day. It is so convenient because all my audio and video needs are satisfied with the OPPO BDP-105D.
I used to play vinyl records, but I haven't played a record in months. Most of my favorite LPs have been copied to digital, so I listen to them via the OPPO BDP-105D.
Perhaps a CD changer would be better for your parents, but for me the OPPO is the best solution because I have thousands of albums already in the high-resolution digital format.
Best regards,

Do you have an iOS or Android tablet or smart phone? If so, try one of the control apps.
I find that browsing media files using the D-pad on the Oppo remote is slow and cumbersome compared to touch screen browsing.
I spend more time watching movies and streaming Netflix than I spend listening to music. However, I organize my music onto USB flash drives that connect directly to the OPPO. I find the remote control very easy to use.
Best regards,

Just pointing out to the OP that a TV is not really needed to drive an Oppo for music playback.
