Hello Russ.

That's great news buddy! Since I've been on this upgrade tear, I'm starting to wonder about my Yamaha CDC-685 Changer. Should I keep it? Should I sell it? Should I replace it with a new changer? The 600 does sound nice. There was a time when I was considering the Rotel RCC-1055 as a replacement for the Yammie.



But now, since I've stepped into the HTPC zone, having a changer in my system is reducing the changer concept to redundancy. I still love my Yamaha though. It's worked flawlessly for almost 10 years.

[BigAl87]

So Russ It's D Day for you today , let us know how it sounds

[MikeDaWiz]

Good Morning Russ! You should have your CD Changer In today Correct?

Hello Russ. Not that I doubt you cause I never would, but, what makes you feel that Yamaha swapped DAC manufacturer's? Have you opened up the changer to see if the Burr-Brown dacs are in place, that's if they are exposed and easy to see,.....

Good afternoon John

I find it disappointing that the Burr-Brown DAC's are no longer installed in the CD-C600 units. After reading the description on Amazon it was the main reason I choose to upgrade from my fully functional CDC-697 in my living room system. Is the new DAC a single or dual unit and is is it 192kHz/24-bit ? Had I been aware of the substitution prior to my purchase, I probably would have continued my search for a high quality changer and I wouldn't have convinced 2 other friends of mine to buy these (which they have). Although I find the CD-C600 to have a more detailed sound, it also seems quite heavy handed in lower frequencies (bass region). This condition seems to be moderating with more playing time and I hope it continues . I am presently considering an outboard DAC and using the 600 as a transport (which I hoped I didn't have to do). I've since placed the 697 in my home office and sold the CDC-506 that was there so, I guess I'll be keeping it. It's just not what I paid for.

The Yamaha DAC's used are still very high quality - they are not Burr-Brown branded - they are Yamaha branded.

Good morning John,

I hope all is well. Anyway I received my CD-C600 player and am quite happy with it. I do however (yet again)

have another question for you. What model DACs are used in this unit ? I 've searched everywhere in the manual

and on the web can't find it listed.

Thanks again for your help

Russell Henry

That unit is actually within the YCAS division - but I called a friend of mine
over there and the tabs are removable.

At this point we do not have a receive date. We would suggest keeping your
order with Audiohlics. Our website states that it is available for backorder.

Good morning John,

Thanks for your speedy response,now I just have a couple of more questions for
you.....

1) Can you be more specific as to when the stock of CDC-600's would be
replenished ?

2) So that I may get the unit faster. Should I cancel my present order with
Audioholics (made 4/18/11)

and re-order through the Yamaha site ? I don't like having my monies tied up.

3) Why hasn't your website been updated to show the units are not available,
causing people like myself to go through these hassles ?

Russ, then what all of that ultimately means, from what I gather, they have resorted back to the S-Bit DAC. Man I could have sent you my CDC-685. But look at it this way, it is iPod compatible and has a USB port. It ain't all bad.

My iPod model isn't supported ( iPod video) I don't know whether to laugh or cry . You just can't make this SH*T up !

And to think, I convinced 2 friends of mine to pick this unit up
