Well, when my CD player died a few years back, I scrapped it, purchased an excellent new very high-end streaming DAC, a music server, and never looked back. I haven't spun a CD since. Happy listening.
I’m afraid my Audio Aero Capitole mk2 has died
I really love listening to CD’s via my Capitole, but now, the player has gone into a permanent state of ‘MUTE’. I’ve tried turning it off and on, unplugging / replugging the player, but nothing helps. A constant state of MUTE. So, do I repair the player (in the past, I have used Peter Noerbaek at PBN Audio for repairs), or do I bury the player and purchase a new CDP / server? Thoughts?
