Is there an SACD that can play cds well?

I've read through the threads and read the Stereophile reviews. They all seem to say that high end SACD units playing SACDs are superior to similar CD units playing cds.

I have a Resolution Audio 55 playing cds into ML380S and ML335 and Dunlavy SCIV. Very, very good. But, no, I want better.

Now help me.

What specific SACD units in YOUR EXPERIENCE will play cds in equal detail and depth to the RA55/ML39/EMC-1?

I was listening to redbook cd's on a Marantz SACD with Rowland amps and Talon Khorus speakers at a dealer showroom.
My initial impression was that it was overly bright, and very thin sounding.When he switched in a Spectral transport/DAC it was night and day.
