Just wondering if anybody has this or had a chance to demo it
Sony DVP-CX985V 400 Disc DVD/CD/SACD Mega Changer
if so how is the SACD playback, and if it has any type of bass management. I haven't found to many reviews on this yet

OK, that's the one I want to know about. That would kick ass. The only thing it's missing is DVD-A!

I wouldn't hold your breath for Sony support of DVD-A.

I looked into the "uber-changer" for lack of a better term. I don't know though, personally I want to look at my dvd cases when I pick out a movie, so I wasn't too keen on having them tucked in the player with my music. Also, I'm not a big proponent of super-multi-purpose tools. I think in general that if you get a cd changer that is designed with only that purpose in mind, it'll serve that goal better than something also designed to juggle butcher knives and make espresso. While it's not a far stretch to go to a dvd changer, it is a different laser, more complicated electronics, etc...
All that considered, I decided I'd be better off with just the mega-changer. Then I can get another piece down the road designed specifically for dvds and whatnot which I'm sure will do that job much better than the sony changer.
But, on the topic of my original post, I am slowly filling the changer using my explained method and it is great expect that the artist names don't get read in from the cd text. Not vital, also easy to add if I feel like it, but just so anyone wondering knows it looks like you only get album and track titles from the cd text info. Still haven't tested mp3 playback.

My computer is my ideal jukebox, really-- plays APE (lossless compression), MP3, and OGG files (holds plenty), optical-out to my receiver, great playlist, EQ, and alarm/sleep functuality, et cetera.
In all serious there's something about the feeling of actual CDs that I'm missing though, I know.

I'm afraid you misunderstand my question. Of those 5 mega-changers, only one plays DVD-A and none play SACD. What I was looking for was a mega-changer that plays DVD-A and SACD along with DVD-V, CD, etc.
However, on second thought, I agree with Ringmir about the Swiss Army component. Go too far down that path, and you're in the HTIB section. Ewww!
