Description from the seller
Yamaha CDC-685 advanced 5-disc carousel compact disc changer, designed and built by Yamaha Corporation (circa 2001–2004). Technically in 100% good working condition (fast disc recognition, smooth-running carousel and trouble-free track switching) and visually in neat condition with light signs of use consistent with its age.
For audio enthusiasts who want musical comfort without compromising sound quality, the CDC-685 is one of the finest changers Yamaha has ever produced. The unit features the renowned PlayXchange mechanism: it allows the carousel tray to be opened to swap four CDs while the fifth disc continues playing uninterrupted. Internally, the device uses Yamaha’s patented PRO-Bit technology (Precision Reproduction of Original Bits) and high-quality DAC architecture. This ensures very linear signal processing and a faithful reconstruction of the finest microdetails from the 16-bit audio signal.
In terms of sound, the player delivers a dynamic, open and spacious stereo image with tight bass and refined highs without digital harshness. In addition to the standard analog RCA outputs, the CDC-685 is equipped with an optical digital Toslink output for direct connection to an external DAC or a high-end amplifier. On the front there is a clear display, direct disc selection buttons and a controllable headphone output.
