Low cost SACD player with remote, display and SACD over HDMI

I wanted to 'try' SACD and finally (I now have 3 additional player now and hand, bought before getting deeper in that stuff) have one that actually plays SACD. 

And I must say I LIKE IT (the Dark Side of Moon  REALLY convinced me to add this format to my portfolio). 

So now I would like a player (still needs to be LOW cost in common terms and SUPER CHEAP in Audiogon currency) that has a bit more 'heft'. The one I use now is just a pound of plastic, and smaller format than any other equipment. But worst: it has NO DISPLAY so I have a PC monitor on top to even use it (Sony UBP-X700).

So SACD, DVD, CD, Bluray, remote, display. And SACD over HDMI (not component output), around $300 (but certainly under $500). Used is fine. 

Does it exist?

I had certainly looked at the Oppo 103. For some  reason, was under the impression the 103 does NOT play SACD over HDMI. Need to go back and double check. In certain DOES have an HDMI IN (and 2 out).

Sony UBPX1000ES and Sony UBPX1100ES. 

Both have two HDMI output ports- one is for audio only. In addition both of these players also have an analog RCA output.

Lesser Sony models like the 800m also do dsd out over hdmi. But they do not have an analog output

How does the Sony XA-5400ES sound with SACD over HDMI into a compatible DAC?

MAX $500. hopefully $300. many suggestions are far above that.

Used probably, and a word of caution:

find one where the owner assures you of low use. The lasers do get progressively weak, and one of the first things to go is the ability to ’find’ the SACD layer.

Ask for photo of the unit playing an SACD (if they have one) (iow, see the display show if found SACD).

a lot of Sony's play SACD including some changers:
