Looking for a CD Player

I am in the process of replacing my Moon CD 5 CD Player --- or might be no reason to replace my present CD Player.  The next CD player if purchased is probably going to be my last as I am a senior in age.  My wife and I are tired of getting up and down and up and down did I mention up and down to listen to the other side of an album. So, we have a number of CDs and frankly like the ease of listening to them.  Not wanting to purchase streaming music.  Therefore, we / I need an education on two subjects -    Do we need to have a DAC incorporated in the CD player and secondly do we need to have SACD capability??  Not wanting to spend more than 3000.00.  All the help would be appreciated.

76 yo: I have owned many hi-end CD transports and players over the decades. Several years ago I got a great deal on an Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5 for $1000. Recently I replaced a Audiolab 6000CDT transport with a Shanling ET3 transport MSRP $729. It is an absolute bargain, but if you want to keep it simple go to Shanling.com where you can buy direct a SCD 1.3 to play both CD and SACDs MSRP $1279 No waiting
