I think this is a great time for you to think out side of the CD spinning box and go server, hard drive, or an all in one system like the blue sound vault (load your CD's and forget) and lose the CD spinners for good and stream from a hard drive you will never have to deal with a failed CD drive again. CD spinners are a dyeing format, I know there are many old folks here who are dedicated to them but in this day and age its just not necessary to get the same sound.
Get your self something like the Blue Sound Vault2i load all your CD's and never have to deal with them again. Add a better DAC as needed and your set. there are other methods of losing the CD player but there has never been a better time to move on.
