To fix or not to fix

Jolida 100A CD player. After about 45 minutes of playing it begins to skip and pop. Jolida is saying $100-200 to fix (plus shipping).
Rest of system Cary Sli 80 amplifier and Merlin VSM speakers.
I also do have an Arcam rDAC, but my separate transport for that has been unreliable (fixed twice and will not do again).
Want to keep budget under $5-700 if replacing (would get used but reliable equipment)

I have a modded JD 100 that I've had for many years and still
listen to it. I sent it in for repairs about 6 years ago. It
did not cost upwards of $200 to repair though. I would say it
isn't worth it for you to repair, based on the rough estimate
they gave you. I would look to replace it based on your budget
of $500-$700. You may want to try the suggestions for
repairing it yourself, but that's all I'd do.
