my cd transport hungry for new music ?


Last night after listening for the first time to a cd of electronic music by Olafur Arnalds, I stopped play and then also by remote opened the tray,  BUT ...

no cd.  Empty tray. I'd just been playing a cd for sure  - not streaming -
 yet it was gone.

Retracting and opening the tray, I heard the disc rattling around inside the player.
Finally it stopped, having found its own resting place. 

Problem is, it's a cd borrowed from the NYPL and has to be returned or I'm liable for $50 replacement fee.
Reluctant  to return the unit to Boucherville, Quebec,   I'm wondering
  if there's any way to extract the disc from the player ?
The transport continues to play other discs, but it must have really  loved the Arnalds. Snapped it right up.

tho I had 2 wadia transports over the years, they just gave out from old age. 

the current hungry one is a Sim Moon 260D standalone.  I'm waiting to hear back from their tech guys - I suspect the unit is not user-accessible.

of course, I was alarmed when it first disappeared.  thanks.  i just hope the stuck disc doesn't cause problems going forward. 
I owned  the factory-modded S7i happily for years until the transport gave out.  I sent to Audio Research for replacement, but that one lasted only 3 months.  I've saved the unit for a backup DAC.

I still haven't heard from SimMoon - is silence the new 'no' ?

uh oh - sim being dead ?  did you pay in advance ?  I bought their transport and DAC because they had such a good line-up of products and marketed whole systems.  But pricey amps/preamps for sure.
