A couple of months back, the digital coaxial output on my CC3000 died. The center pin on the RCA connector pulled free from the PCB, taking the solder pad with it. I wasn’t able to repair it.
I took this as a sign that it was time to move on. I tried a Sony DVP-S7700 (couldn’t stand the sliding faceplate), a Sony DVP-S500D (DOA), the aforementioned Sony SCD-C2000ES changer (slow and clunky), a AC Magnum CD.2020 (dim display, noise on digital out) and finally the Rotel RCC-1055 changer (equally slow and clunky).
All this has led me straight back to buying another Marantz CC3000 changer on eBay, and reinforced my suspicion that when it comes to CD transport functionality, I’m a complete diva.
