The holidays might be over, but if you were given some money over the holiday season, whether it was an end-of-year bonus or as a gift for a loved one, perhaps you may want to buy yourself something nice, like this $550 CD changer from Yamaha.

As spotted by What Hi-Fi? the Yamaha CD-C603 is a 5-disc CD changer offering a high-end CD listening experience. The device can playback up to 5 CDs. More interestingly, the CD-C603 has a PlayXChange feature, allowing you to seamlessly change one of the four CDs while the fifth CD plays music.

If that’s the case, the device also plays music files, including MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, FLAC, via a USB port located on the front of the CD changer.

Despite CD sales declining in 2023, the Yamaha CD-C603 is a neat little device that still feels a few decades late. Imagine having one of these in your house during a summer BBQ cookout or a kickback with your friends. One way or another, if you have a large CD collection and want a stylish way to play those discs, it’s not entirely a bad idea to purchase.

Just one caveat: the CD-C603 comes at a steep price of $549.95. And it’s hard to find in the US right now. But you can go on Yamaha’s website to be notified of restocks. Otherwise, you can try your lock on the “Find a Store” locator on the company’s website and see what stores near you might have it.
