Whats the best cd changer for under 300 dollars?

Sony.

specifically, I would look for at least a 20 bit DAC (preferably 24)....Digital output is always nice as is a carousel type changer. Denon also is one that I would look at.

What is DAC? Why can you tell if a CD player will sound good?

The Marantz CC4000 may be available for that price. It comes w/a 3-yr warranty if purchased from an authorized dealer. I have no idea if it's the best in its price range. Just mentioning it as an option. The CC3000 is the same machine but w/out a headphone jack.

I always think the best CD player is a single CD player, not changer, changer is paint on the a** and sometimes it's so painful to deal with the transport, delay and noise and greater risk of mechanical break down.

I'm back again, Troy...

Boston speak for dick. Get one with at least 24 bits.

DAC is a Digital Analog Converter.It takes digital in converts it to analog.

The higher the bits the better? (24+)
