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

Once I figured out how to rip SACDs to DSF files a few months ago, I started to buy them. Mostly 60's and 70's Rock. I have almost 60 SACDs now. The only SACDs I buy are ones that are supposed to have the best masterings and sound the best of all digital releases.

There was no way I was going to buy a super expensive transport to play SACDs. Heck, I don't even have a CD transport. I rip all of my discs and play them on my 2 channel system using Roon.

The SACDs I have do sound incredible on my 2 channel setup.
