I reckon it'll go cheapish. He's neglected to point out it's the 'Precision' version and there's a badge missing. If you've not tried one, you should. They are excellent. I own two. They make a great transport too. If there's no remote, no big deal. Any Pioneer CD player remote works and they're cheap.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

I have made the transition to digital streaming and have an excellent CD player for sale: a Cambridge Audio Azur 840C Upsampling Audiophile CD Player. It has been in storage for some time but have recently had it serviced by Cambridge Audio. Whilst being serviced they also replaced the servo motor so it is in excellent condition electronically as well as cosmetically. I will leave you to check out the specs and reviews online, but you will appreciate that it stands comparison with today's CD players selling for more than 1000 pounds.
Let me know if you are interested and I will take some pictures of my own unit rather than the stock photo I have attached. I spent close to 100 quid on the service and would expect to get 400 quid for the unit (buyer to collect). I see higher prices being asked on ebay for units in relatively poor condition.

Very hard to go back to a standard tray load when you used a fixed lazer mech like that.
