In this digital age of music streaming, Spotify and Apple's iTunes dominate the industry. However, that does not mean that CDs are out of place right now-just that only a few of them are listening to songs on an old music player.
Some of you might have missed the good days where CD changers are a thing. In fact, Yamaha has a surprise for fans who cannot get over that era. The company has a special CD changer that will cure your nostalgia over multi-disc players.
Yamaha Unveils CD Changer That Redefines Convenience
Nowadays, it's quite, but not impossible to see someone or a store selling CDs. However, for CD collectors, this new Yamaha CD changer will tour you to a nostalgic hobby of the past.
Yamaha has introduced the CD-C603, a cutting-edge 5-disc CD changer that not only incorporates the renowned sound-first feature from Yamaha's amplifiers but also introduces a game-changing CD-switching feature, reminiscing the era of multi-disc players.
Unlike the diminishing trend of CD changers, Yamaha's CD-C603 presents a unique feature known as Play X Change. This innovative functionality allows users to seamlessly change discs while another is in full play, eliminating the tedious pauses associated with traditional CD changers. The fully opening disc tray facilitates the effortless swapping of up to five discs simultaneously, offering unparalleled convenience.

Pure Direct for Enhanced Sound
According to What HiFi, the CD-C603 includes the acclaimed Pure Direct feature, a staple in Yamaha amplifiers and receivers. By shutting down the digital audio output and display, Pure Direct minimizes noise interference, ensuring a dynamic and clear audio experience.
It's no doubt that Yamaha knows how to heal the inner child within those people who experienced the peak age of CD. It is evident that the company is serious in bringing performance upgrades in the enhanced internal layout of the CD changer, promising an audio output filled with exceptional dynamics and clarity.
Laser Pickup Floating Feature and More
Drawing inspiration from single-disc Yamaha players, the CD-C603 incorporates two advanced design elements. The "Laser Pickup Floating Mechanism" isolates the laser pickup on a floating mechanism, mitigating the impact of vibrations on its delicate operation.
Meanwhile, the "Intelligent Digital Servo" employs digital processing to detect and compensate for any signal, tracking, or motor speed issues, ensuring optimal performance.
In addition to traditional CD, CD-R, and CD-RW playback, the CD-C603 embraces modern audio preferences. The front-panel USB input allows playback of WAV and FLAC audio files up to 24-bit/96kHz. This forward-thinking approach caters to audiophiles seeking a diverse range of audio formats.
When it comes to connectivity, the CD-C603 offers standard connectivity options with RCA outputs, an optical out, and a remote in/out option. The user-friendly design extends to its back panel, providing seamless integration into existing audio setups.
Is Yamaha CD Changer Good For its Price?
Priced atf $549.95 in the US, the Yamaha CD-C603 is available in elegant black or silver finishes, according to IGN. This multi-disc changer represents Yamaha's dedication to delivering a premium audio experience, combining innovation and performance in a sleek and user-friendly package.
It might not be for everyone but that's all about it. The CD changer is simply one hell of a product that is hard to miss especially if you grow up listening to old songs from the CD player that your parents bought in 2000.
