Would you buy a hi-fi CD player that came to the market approximately in 2010, in the price range $1000 - $2000 (the current used, or B-stock price)?Two things to consider.
[1] Is the digital audio technology in the product competitive with that in current products? For comparison, the current US new product price of Chord 2Qute DAC is about $1300.
[2] The transport mechanism may not be repairable any more, because the parts are not in production now.
P. S.
I can get a Creek Destiny 2 CD player at about $1350. The seller says it is in great condition, and has factory box though the box is dirty and worn.

- No. Only because it is 'unrepairable'. Cheaper.. maybe as a 'throwaway'. - 3+4=5 08:43:48 03/05/17 (2)
