I'm a big believer in realistic music levels (SPLs/as much as possible).
Given that my BAT VK-D5 resides closely to my subwoofers; even the slightest bit of dirt on the LASER causes skips.
On it's shelf: it sits on a combination of Vibrapods and their Cones (I'm a cheapskate), with the balls up. If they are not in an ideal position: skips result.
Your problem could (absolutely) be a case of a dirty or weak LASER.
If not: try some sort of isolation system, or- moving the CDP further from your speakers (far as you're able, as an experiment).
