NEED A RECOMMENDATION FOR NEW CD/SACD PLAYER

My Esoteric K-01 player has just stopped working for the second time.
The transport works, but no audio on any source--no audio on CD and no audio from my server. I will send it back for repair. This is the second time for repairs in two years.

Can anyone recommend a CD/SACD player that is more reliable? I thought the sound of the K-01 was very good; I am happy to consider units that are better sounding and/or more expensive. But reliability is just as important.

I just don't want to deal with the unit going down again. . .

Just get it repaired with a nice letter explaining that you have had an "unusually" frequent issue with (specific problems-etc.). they may opt to replace it with a new unit or... make sure you are not introducing the unit to smoke, hair, dirty discs, etc. or rough handling, or excessive heat.
the higher the resolution of a component the more fussy it can get.
