Analog output from CD player distorted

Hi folks,

 

I recently acquired a Chord One CD player. It worked well for a few days. However , tonight when I listened it the sound is distorted/cracked. I tested with multiple systems and discs so I can confirm it’s the One CD player that’s faulty. However, the digital output stays intact. Any ideas? Thank you!

Thanks folks. Nah it’s not a connection problem. I used xlr first, and tried rca with another preamp. Never ran both connections together.. I agree maybe the dac is fried.

Do you have a separate DAC?  Can you take it to a local HiFi shop and hook it into a system of theirs?  Did you pay money for it?  Can you return it? Is it worth it to get it fixed??

I have a separate dac and the digital out of the cd player works. Yes I paid money already and seems the seller is reluctant for a return. To be honest I’d rather return it at the stage even though I will lose the shipping cost and international transaction fee..
