    I have tried the DVD-C961BL which looks identical. The Yamaha changers are actually re-badged and made by Philips.

    Operation of the player was extremely slow, and changing discs was a pain. The drawer does not rotate when it's open, and doesn't eject far enough to easily grab the rear two discs. Found myself dropping discs. It annoyed me enough to quickly return it and get a Marantz DV6001. If only I had known that the Marantz is just another re-badge of the same Philips player. Internally it was identical.

    There are not many choices anymore for SACD changers, I gave up and got a single player.

    I have two Pioneer Elite DV-48AV's. I find they work well.

    I have one too, but they are not available anymore. The new DV49-AV looks decent for $179 at Vann's though, and is pretty much the same player.

    I have the CDR-HD1500 for storing all my CD's, had it for years now. But like the OP, I was looking for something that would do multi SACD's. I have a multi room setup, and was looking to get the same convenience for SACD's as I have with CD's.
