Thanks for your posts.
The $1350 CD player with dirty and worn factory box is said to be a B-stock item with 1-year manufacturer warranty.
Here is some comparison with a current product.

Creek Audio Evolution 100 CD Player
- The remote does not control power on/standby.
- Program function is not enabled.
- The player does not process de-emphasis (Stereoplay 05/2016)
- Jitter 385 ps in Stereoplay 05/2016. (In the same article, Quad Artera Play (2000 Euro) showed 317 ps from CD).
- There are vent holes on the top steel plate, which would draw in dust, which may affect the lifespan of the transport mechanism.
Creek Audio Destiny 2 CD Player
- The remote controls power on/standby.
- Program function is enabled.
- The player processes de-emphasis (Stereoplay 11/2010)
- Jitter 152 ps in Stereoplay 11/2010. (In the same article, Moon CD .5 showed 172 ps, and Ayon CD 1s showed 273 ps.)
- There are no vent holes on the top (probably aluminum) plate. None on the side and rear plates, either.
