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. . .

Wow. That is an expensive, flagship SACD/CD player with an excellent reputation for sound quality. You must be very annoyed.

I have not heard of issues with the Esoteric K-01 and "know" some forum friends with the unit and can't recall them posting of problems. This, of course, is no salve to your wounds.

I wish you well in having your K-01 repaired.

Regards,
