Best Value/Performance In An SACD Player For $2k, Or Less, Used?

As the title says I have been debating what the best options in players are for strictly playing SACD's. 

I had been considering a used Sony 5400, but those are now over ten years old, and Sony players of that, and a bit earlier period, are notorious for lasers failing. 

Any expertise, insight, recommendations or suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

I have been listening to my Sony SCD-1 with Vacuum State Level 5+ mods this week (I am short a DAC for the next few weeks). This unit is incredible with SACD's.

However, my unit's display is mostly dead now. I comes back occasionally. I think I am close to the end of life for this amazing player. 

I would look at a new SACD model as opposed to something like what I have.
