My CD-player stopped working. Does it make sense to invest in a new CD-transport?

Op if you have sacd collections, sacd player is an obvious choice. I will choose a company who has good tech support for sacd player. Advance Paris cdp is a very good cdp. It won’t play sacd.

Loomisjohnson I will advise buying new when it comes to buying cdp, sacd player.

Op if your cdp is more than 7yrs its not worth repairing unless its a very expensive one ? If my cdp is above 2k , I will at least try to find a good tech . If my cdp is 5yrs old and its less than 1k , I will buy a new one.My maranta sa10  7k regular price. And it was only 37 months when the sacd laser broke, I did my best to find the right tech and original laser courtesy of Agon members.Now it works flawlessly. 

Just replaced our landline phone that records messages, due to it conking out, with the same model some 12 years after purchasing the first (the new one works like a charm).

@jayctoy my logic for buying used is (a) first and foremost, price--some of these overbuilt older players can sometimes be had for <10% of their srp,  (e.g. i once scored a denon dvd 5910  and a pioneer dv79 for around  $100), so even if they die (which has been less frequent than you'd expect) i can replace cheaply, and (b) alot of these models were engineered for long-term durability--the aforesaid pioneer is still going strong after 20+ years; i also regularly use a 1986 kyocera cdp which (other than replacing a $5 belt) works flawlessly, and (c) i probably don't play cds enough to justify spending a grand. granted, you're not getting the latest dac, but whether or not the new stuff sounds better is open to question.
