Sony UPB-X1000ES as a two channel stereo SACD player

I have Sony DVP-NS999ES. I am thinking of upgrading it, and came across Sony UPB-X1000ES. Would it outperform DVP-NS999ES as a CD/SACD player? 
I have Plinius SA102, Plinius M16, and Harbeth/Tyler/Apogee speakers as 2 channel stereo setup.
Video playback is not much of concern.
Much appreciate your input.

you have certainly owned a few good players. If you liked the Arcam FMJ, seek out, the FMJ CD36.
Back to SACD. This format is still relevant in 2019 moving into 2020.There are a few Sony ES players, as well as, Pioneer Elite DV-79AVi or the newer LX-500.  Keep me posted on your purchase decision.
Happy Listening!

Consult Dan Wright at ModWright for a possible upgrade to the DVP-NS999ES. If you enjoy the Sony ES sound, consider a 5400ES CD/SACD player. This spinner would be an upgrade to the player currently owned and can be found on eBay or U.S. Audiomart.

Happy Listening!
