Good question, I also had to replace the transport in a 5K unit while my $189 Oppo plays on without a glitch. Fortunately, in many players, replacing the entire transport is pretty cheap and easy. I did it myself and I'm no tech.
Educate me please
I have a $3k CDP that is about 5 years old . The laser or transport now needs to be repaired or replaced . It is skipping occasionaly and past experience tells me that it will only get worse .
Now the delimma , I have a circa late 90's ,DVD player . It is a JVC that I got free when buying a TV from a big box store . It is playing my CD's flawlessly !
I would think and hope that the more exspensive Botique CDP would have a better transport unit than a throw away DVD player .
I don't understand .
