If you really need a CDP and can't wait, go for something new(er) and easily repairable (or disposable) and slowly save your money for a better one down the road. If I had a crystal ball and could foresee the demise of CD players in the next few years, then I'd say go and buy a new one on credit. All the best, Nonoise

Lots of progress in 10 years. OR get the $1K Sony Blu-ray player. If You don't like it get an outboard dac too.
