SACD or not

I have a question regarding SACD format. I am looking to replace my CD player and noticed some CD players have the ability to process SACD and some do not.  I have never heard this format and was wondering if I should consider this in my purchase. My purchase price is in the $1400 range
I know people will question why I am using CD at all. That is another discussion for another time. I still like some physical media in my listening experience. 
I look forward to your comments

schmitty1,

Are you planning to buy SACD’s? If the answer is yes, then you should look into a Marantz SACD/CD player. There are few listings on Audiogon, check them out.

I currently own a Marantz SA-11S2 and both SACD and CD playback is superlative.

“I highly recommend the Esoteric models - the K-01xs and the new K1X”

LOL....the OP’s budget is <$1500 😉

Is OPPO players still a affordable option since they seize production? Every reseller is asking 2 or 3 times of the original retail price 😔
