Decent SACD?

Guys, thinking to buy a first for me 'new format' source... Heard of some cheap ones, not very good things; about pretty expensive ones - they're too expensive yet :)
Are there any decent, recommended SACD (or DVD-A) players in range of $1500 - $2500, that also would be capable of really good CD playing?

Will the mentioned players perform 'red book' as good as dedicated CD player by the same price ($2.5-3.5K)? I'm not sure...

Thinking about Marantz SA-14 or DV-8400, has anyone tried to compare their redbook performance to Classe CDP-10 or Audio Aero Prima?

Izsakmixer, thanks, just yesterday night I read your review and found it very interesting. Looks like pretty good SACD player in the given price range...
I'm wondering how much I'm going to sacrifice in redbook performance comparing to the best CD players in the same price range: Classe CDP-10, Audio Aero Prima, etc.

Darrylhifi, what's your opinion about 8400' redbook playback quality? Did you have a chance to compare it to anything else (CDP)?
