I would be careful, Sonic Frontiers has been out of production since 2002. Some of the transports go back to 1995.
Many older lasers and optical assemblies are failing. Parts can be hard to obtain or unobtainable for a lot of nice, older units.
I am sure there are many contradictory opinions on this, but my feeling based on my experience thus far is that the transport makes very little sonic difference... the sonics are almost all in the DAC and associated analog sections in my opinion. Beyond that I second the cautions above, but not just about Sonic Frontiers... every older digital device from virtually every manufacture has very limited support. This is one reason that companies who pride themselves in product and customer support like Bryston and Pass Labs have had very minimal forays into the digital domain.
