Disc drives do wear out over time. I recently went through a lot of effort to replace the pickup in my Sony XA5400ES (w/VSE mods) which is still a great sounding player.
It’s hard to tell how much use a previously owned player has had or how much life is left in the pick-up. So, there is a risk buying used. Perhaps keep your search to players manufactured in the last 5 years?
Another poster recommended Esoteric which makes highly regarded disc players. If I couldn’t get my Sony fixed I planned to get a Marantz SACD 30N which also supports streaming.
