Relatively they are inexpensive as upper class cd players go. This no times oversampling cd player you can hit and it doesn't skip - there is no error correction and no digital filters.
Impossible for it not to have error correction, since it's part of the CD standard. The CIRC error correction is an 8-bit parity code that's part of every CD's audio datastream (it's a ~25% redundant code that gets used to fill in missing bits with no interpolating).
