Multi channel SACD and DVD/A player under $2000


Looking to get recommendation on the best multi channel player in a reasonable budget. Redbook performance is not important as I have a pre/pro that handles redbook very well. Budget is flexible, but I'd like to keep it low as the future of SACD and DVD/A is still uncertain and I'm hesitant in investing too much yet. I currently have a Denon 3910 which does DVD/A fairly well, and SACD decently. I'd like the new player to sound significantly better in both, and it must have multi channel output.

Thanks,

Fwiw i had a denon 3910 but then compared it to a lexicon rt10.I ended up keeping the lexicon and selling the denon.This was totally based on dvda/sacd since i was not going to use it video wise.Never personally heard the esoteric but heard good things about it.
I did little research awhile back and supposedly the rt10 videosection(de-interlacing)is comparible to the marantz 8400 but tweaked.The audio/analog is different and superior and not comparible to marantz.So i would say it's a rebadged marantz in only 1 way the interlacing nothing else and even that is supposedly tweaked somewhat.Needles to say video is not the high point of the lexicon but dvda/sacd is.
