Is this worrth getting fixed? This is not a mk II. Right now, I can hear the internal portion powering on, but the display is blank and none of the controls are operating.

Wondering if it would ever sound nearly as good as my old Kyocera 710 or Quad CDP-2

IMO yes get it repaired and upgraded. How much do you want to spend?  You can add better power supply capacitors and upgrade key resistors making what was a very good CDP competitive in todays marketplace. We recently did an old Cary SACD player with over 100 parts.  Damm if it does not knock our socks off.

Happy Listening.

@judsauce - correct replacing the laser is always good as these things eventually ear down.  Upgrading power supply caps and a few key resistors takes units to a entire new level.
