Chances are the transport is still good. You might get a cheap DAC that you can use to test the Cambridge.
Cambridge Audio CD Player Has Died
I have a Cambridge Audio Azur 840C CD player that is roughly 15 years old. A year ago the left channel went dead & was subsequently repaired. However, yesterday the audio output completely died (no sound whatsoever). Although the unit has served me well, I am reluctant to continue to put more money into repairs of an older unit.
That being said, I have a question for those of you who have more expertise than I. Is there a discernible difference in sound quality between high-end CD players & those more moderately priced? Although I do have a high-quality audio system, I would prefer not to spend a lot of money on a new CD player unnecessarily.
Thank you so much.

This cd player had some known cap issues that was resolved with replacement of certain ones. My 840C was serviced by Audio Plus Sevices (authorized service center) 1/2015 and I have not had a problem.
