I've read good things about the CLD-D703, so hopefully I can find one soon
Well… I would not rush to find a player as you may pull the trigger too fast and end up paying more than you have to. Also, avoid buying a player that needs to be shipped to you as there is a good chance it will get damaged. I would keep and eye on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and if possible a local shop selling used electronics. In addition, don’t limit yourself to one particular model; it’s not like we have a choice these days as the format continues to age out. It sounds like you want a player with “digital field memory” (that is what makes the 703 what it is over a 503 for example along with the digital output) so you can also consider some of the older sisters like a 3090, 701, and 702. Also, a 704 can be had for a reasonable price if you are patient and that player includes the AC3-RF out for Dolby Digital (probably won’t need it but you never know).

Yeah, I'm completely open to other models; I just assumed 703 may be cheaper than 704 due to lack of AC3, which I really don't think I need considering what demodulators go for I'm also definitely prioritizing local pickup, however sadly I wasn't able to find many shops selling used electronics in my city except Goodwill I was able to find an ebay listing for a player, but it's a CLD-S104
