cdp acting funny

Ocasionally my cdp does a funny "skip". It does it a couple of times a cd. It doesn't appear to skip, but it's almost like a power loss for a microsecond. When it does it my dac "blips" where it shows a signal coming in. The cdp is a CA 340 and my dac is a CA Dacmagic. I never have that problem when playing music from my computer, so I don't believe it's my dac and I never had it happen with my old cdp. Any ideas? All will be appreciated.

the pickup may be getting dirty; you can try using a CD laser lens cleaning disc. I have one from Audio Source. It has a tiny brush that rotates to clean the lens.

If you can access the pickup by opening the cover you might try a blast of clean "canned air".

If this doesn't help then the servo needs to see a technician.
