The Sony SCD-1 can be had for $3k brand new, factory sealed A stock, with full warranty. I think that makes most other units obsolete.
SACD player for CD
Hey, look, I've got thousands of CDs and I'm more than a little reluctant to start buying the same music, yet again. I'm willing to get into SACD (forget DVD-A, I don't want a video monitor in my listening room so I can figure out what's on) if someone will assure me that a decent SACD player can play Redbook as well as, say, a $1000 stand-alone CD player. How 'bout it? Recommendations?
