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?

I second Brianmgrarcom's recommendation of the Marantz SA-14.

It is the source for my $50K+ system. John Marks of Stereophile and CD recording fame uses it as his reference CD player.
There are often great deals on it, on this site.

If you buy one, feel free to contact me for set-up recommendations.

The answer as far as the Marantz is concerned, is a definite YES.

It replaced an older $7K CD set-up, and is MUCH better.
