Reading through this and going to some of the links uncovered a good recommendation that my get you everything you want. The Panasonic F-87 is a 5 disc DVD/CD changer that comes in black or silver. Some comments about it basically said it was a fantastic sounding player. The author of the post in the link above is a highly acclaimed manufacturer of DACs and a mod'r of DVD players. He seems to think the Panasonic is a great player. Here is a link to some vendors:
Just bought a Sony 5-disk DVD changer with 1080i upsample and HDMI output for $141 at Best Buy. Four year warranty add $39 (good bet with anything having moving parts). Harmonic Technology 5 meter HDMI cable for $159. Can't beat it with a stick...

Look at the Toshiba SD-6915. It is Universal format 5 disc unit that goes for under $100 new off ebay. A user is selling it as Region Free as well. The 6915 has the similar guts to the Samsung HD-841 and HD-950 in the audio departments. It doesnt have DVI or HDMI but component video which can output 1080i upconverted.
