So I did read it incorrectly or I'm looking too much into a mismatch for my precious Marantz.Nah. Bitstream isn't related to surround sound. It has to do with the over-sampling rate.
I had a Phillips bitstream 5 disc player, and i thought it was the bomb back in the '90s.

Back in the 90's? So I take it the disk player was well matched to the sound system amp, around the same year/
I don't have it already and not dead set on 5 disc player but it is really annoying haveing to change a cd after its done. Budget is probably $300My Philips carousel was hitched to a Parasound preamp, and a Parasound HCA amp driving electrostatic loudspeakers. It did a pretty nice job, sound wise.
There are other CD players that I would recommend more than the Harman Kardon TL8500 to go with your marantz 2238B.
Tell me, are you dead set on a five disc changer ? What is your max budget ?
Do you already have the HK TL8500 ?
I'm not familiar with this DAC, but a stand alone DAC is an excellent way to go.This was another thought I had , jolida glass fx dac 2. Anyone familar with them?
