Best reasonably priced SACD player?

First time I've ever started a thread asking for "the best" of anything because I generally dislike such discussions. However, although I have redbook covered pretty well, I've been buying more CD/SACD *hybrid discs and am curious about the SACD layers. For the purpose of this discussion "reasonably" priced would be up to $1200. Also prefer volume control because I don't use a pre-amp.
Thanks!

* Mostly because a lot of titles of interest to me are only available as hybrid discs.

i have now moved into using all PS Audio for the front end (DMP and DSD).
But before that i only used Marantz single play units and the best one was the limited edition black pearl.  really great sound.

The BDP-105D is a remarkable SACD player, that also happens to do nearly everything else, including DSD64 playback from the front USB jack.  It's hard to find fault with the amazing sound quality, excellent reliability, and unprecedented value.

The Oppo is a no brainer. Reasonably priced. Sounds great. Can't go wrong.

Oppo is unbeatable for versatility but there are better sounding options for audio disc playback.
