Jake ... If your CD player is skipping intermittently on all types of CD media (regular and SACD) it is most likely due to the laser sled hitting a dried up patch of the factory lubricant on the guide rail that the laser sled travels along
The laser travels on a rail ... the factory lubes the rail during assembly ... after use (and with the help of the heat off the Tubes) the lubricant will dry up in spots ... when the laser sled encounters one of these spots it stalls momentarily losing lock with the data stream on the spinning CD and you hear a skip until it can move beyond the dried up spot and regain lock with the spinning CD
If you're handy remove the cover and access the laser ... if you can see the rail ... clean it with a Q-tip and some IPA then very lightly lube it with some White Lithium grease or Vaseline
