You are probably going to have the same problem in your Esoteric with the replacement disc as the previous disc - the issue is likely due to the reflectance since gold CD-Rs have a lower reflectance compared to the standard CD-R. Either the laser output on the Esoteric is getting weak or the optical alignment is off which means that the reduction in reflectance in the 700 to 800nm range is just enough for the Esoteric to not be able to read that particular disc, but it will still read fine in other optical drives.
What I would suggest is to rip the gold disc in your PC and burn a standard CD-R to enjoy the music in your Esoteric player.
