How long should components last?

For the past two months, my beloved Esoteric SACD player has problems with the drawer opening.  The thought of sending it across the country to TAP Electronics for repair scares the heck out of me.  I know it’s probably just a belt but I really don’t think a local repair guy could fix it.  There is also the cost of shipping this 65 pound  player which comes triple boxed. I still have all the packaging.  I am willing to bet when all is said and done it will be at least 800 to a grand to fix.   I bought the player new in 2012 but the build date is 2008.  It uses the Burr Brown pcm 1704 or is it 1702 R-R ladder dac which absolutely love.   Not sure what to do at this point and I have no interest in streaming services.  If I buy another Esoteric player, the prices are almost out of reach.  If I go used Esoteric, who knows how long it will last?  I already own 2 Sony music servers but the sound of that player is pure magic and totally engages me.  If I do have it fixed, who knows how much longer the laser will last.   

---If you purchase a CD player and you love it, purchase a new traverse unit immediately.  You will only find replacements stocked for a very finite amount of time.

--For the love of Pete,  stereo5, open up the CD player and replace the belt.  Google is your friend.  It's an easy fix!

I had a Rotel amp and preamp, a Velodyne sub and B&W speakers last 23 years without a single repair to any of the components. So, I expect 23 years out of my current system. Fingers crossed!

A bad tube can cause other components to fail. I had a a rogue st100 amp where a bad tube took out a resistor and some other parts. Luckily I’m about an hour away from Rogue and was able to drop it off. It was fixed promptly. 
CD Transports can fail. I had an ARC CD3 Mk2 that stopped reading discs. ARC fixed it. It happens. 5 years is early though. 
As to German cars. I love BMWs but they gradually start acting up after 5 years. I traded in a 5 recently when it began showing signs of trouble. Amazing performance though. The 5 years of pure joy is worth it. At least to me. 

I am also curious about what brand these components are. I see no reason not to list it. Maybe just an outlier, or maybe there's a pattern, so that info would be helpful.

I've got components older than my adult children which are still going strong. Things with moving parts will sometimes need maintenance like speaker surrounds or CD belts. I consider those more like brake pads or tires on a car which aren't a surprise, they wear with use and age. Anything else would just be the occasional capacitor failure, CD laser, or other simple things, which I consider more like a water pump or timing belt that also has a shelf life.
