Most Reliable CDPs?

I have for some time been searching for a CDP (2-4K used), and have been quite struck, in reading the forums here, how many players, including top makes, are said to exhibit reliability problems. I realize some of this may be inevitable, given the technology, but are there players out there known for being trouble free? (My first player, an early Sony purchased from a dumpster, never glitched.)

Thanks to everybody for all the helpful thoughts so far. I will look very seriously at Esoteric, perhaps the SA-60.

I do have concerns about a noisy player-- my Jolida is chattery with many discs, and since I listen often at low volumes, this drives me crazy.

Also, I've heard the the Esoteric house sound is a bit cool and mechanical, which does not sound all that appealing -- I like the tubed sound of the Jolida.

Further thoughts?
