Denon DCD-A110 vs Luxman D-03x

I'm a CD guy, no streaming or vinyl. Currently have a Musical Fidelity Nuvista 3D CD player which sounds and works great. The Nuvista is an older model, and the upgrade bug has hit ... so, I'm thinking of a new player and have narrowed down the choice to the Denon and the Luxman. Note that the Denon provides SACD capability and I have about 20 hybrid titles at this point. Your opinions, including recommendations for other CDPs, or advice to keep what I have, are most welcome. Thanks.

Your hybrid CD`s will play within a regular CD player.
The Luxman is the more regarded player.

"it seems that generally the SACD layer is only slightly more resolving"

Good point. 

 I have not heard about what you have mentioned, neither here, or anywhere else. It may be more resolving, but not enough to make an audible difference.
 I do have two CDP`s on my rack. One, is the Rega Saturn, prior gen. and the other, a Yamaha S2000 SACD player. I have found, that, the Saturn sounds more detailed. But, it may be that the Yamaha is a warmer sounding player.
