Denon DCM-380 5-Disc HDCD Changer

I am a bit of an audiophile, typically purchasing high-end products or building them myself.  Normally I do a lot of research before purchasing a product but in this case I simply asked the opinion of the salesman I was working with.  He highly recommended the Denon DCM-380 as the best quality CD player available.  I have never owned a Denon product because I was not very impressed but he demo'd the CD player and it sounded great.  So I jumped in and spent about $300 for it.  I guess the joke is on me!  After a short time of very light use, maybe once or twice a month, it went crazy spinning around and searching for CDs, etc.  I powered the unit off/on and it worked fine.  I thought it was just a glitch.  This happened one more time before the warranty ran out, with the same results.  I should have taken it in asap but still didn't do that (My fault).  After the warranty ran out the problem occurred almost every time I tried to use it.  Now, I'm very lucky to get 1/2 of a song played before it goes crazy.  Normally I can't get it to work at all.  Based on other comments I've read, I'm not alone.  I refuse to spend money repairing something that will just break.  That is the last Denon product I will buy.
