" I would look into a used Esoteric player. They sound great and are built for a lifetime."
Depends on the player. Considering what looks like the region of the budget of the OP, it does not allow, even used, the top of the line players with the NEO mechanisms. More likely it will be something with, e.g. a UMK-5 mech.
Although the machines are well built the mechs and lasers do have a lifespan. With typical use the UMK-5 will have a cog that changes the redbook/SACD lasers fail at around 5 years and the mech will need replacing. So caution is in order.
On the whole I am not confident about used CD players as I am similarly not about used phono cartridges. Both are ultimately consumables.
