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

you may have cd’s that qobuz doesn’t have. I’m not buying any cd’s, but I know I have some that qobuz doesn’t.

The question for me is how much would I listen to the cd’s that aren’t streamable.

probably very little if at all. But it would gnaw at me. Ideally you can get a decent transport for 300USD or less

Peehaps the decision would be easier if you figured out the minimum quality/cost transport you feel is at the same level as your system, then evaluate if it is worth it.

We do not know how much you like to spin CDs, only you can determine if it’s worth your money.  This hobby, like most, is based in wants, not needs.  

Of course only I can determine if it's worth the money. But that doesn't mean people's opinions can't help to figure out the pros and cons.

Digital is not like Analog where better mechanical engineering gets you better sound quality. Any CD/DVD player is going to output the identical data stream irrespective of its price. This is reality though golden ear 'philes will dispute this.That's why I use a secondhand JVC DVD player as a transport. Works fine, sounds great!

The problem with CD transports / players is that at some point you have to expect it to breakdown.  I’m on my 4th and all 4 have developed problems.  The prior 3 were replaced due to mechanical or electrical failures, not obsolescence or wanting to upgrade.  Too many moving parts, I guess!  Agree with Kennyc in that it really comes down to how much you plan to use it.  If you can accept having to replace it after 5 years (or less) or so and are willing to go with a cheaper transport, it may make more sense to go that route.
