Best CD sound from a DVD player


Hello, due to a lack of shelf space, I am interested in consolidating my system with a CD/DVD player. Ideally, the unit should have progressive scan, although an outboard device is an option. I'd like the unit to play CDRs with SACD being a bonus. I looked at the Marantz SA-12S1 SACD/CD/DVD player and wondered if it was as good as the SA-1? Has anyone made this comparison? Has anyone found a great sounding DVD player for cds?

If the SA-12 is the one that i think it is, it recently underwent a massive price drop. I think it used to list for appr $2800 and now retails for something like $1000 - $1200. A local dealer was telling me about it. He told me that the unit worked very nicely as a cd player but that they were less impressed with it as a dvd player for video use. Don't know anything else about it other than that bit of info that was passed onto me. Sean
