I'm looking for a CD player in 2026, would prefer to have the features listed below. I'd also prefer to buy new with a budget hopefully under $1,000. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

1. MUST have gapless playback between tracks for Concept/Live albums
2. Preferably a 5/6 disc changer
3. USB supported audio
4. Optic out
5. Remote
6. Preferably have the option shuffle tracks per multiple CD's

I can't seem to get an exact answer as some say Gapless playback is included, some say it's not. Anyone had any experience with the Yamaha CD-C603?
