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

@ghdprentice What did you do? You kept it or threw it in the bin?

I think I traded it in one a more contemporary player. Trade in's are often a way a dealer can give you a discount that doesn't show up on and invoice.

Looks like you use the Euro, so you are not in North America.  Totally different audio ecosystems!

For well under EUR-300 (based on Australian pricing which is much less) you could buy a new Sony universal disk transport, which plays CD, SACD, DVD, Blu-ray and 4K.  The UBP-X700.  In addition to CD, you get its high-resolution successor SACD and more high-resolution audio via Pure Audio Blu-ray and Dolby Atmos.

It only has two outputs, both HDMI (far superior to I2S, USB).  One HDMI is dedicated to audio.

I was in the same boat about a year ago.  My long running CD player died.  I researched, thought about how much/little I still listened to CD's vs Vinyl and streaming, and ended up buying a Cambridge Audio CXC Transport and Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100.  Delivered to my house for less than $900.  I have enjoyed my decision very much and didn't break the bank.

If you are not going to listen to them, then save your money for something else
