Any Good SACD Player Plays CD Well

I'm using Sony SCD555ES and wanna upgrade to a better one. For the range of USD10000, any good SACD player can do well at red book, which close to the grade of Wadia 861, Mark 390s, or Metronome T1-i Signature?

You can buy a discounted new 963 for $400! Bruce

But the transport from Meitner will be available in few months as well as the DAC2. Ummm... $400 for a 963SA is very attractive but the quality can't compare with SACD-1000. Not sure how will the Meitner transport looks like...

I can't say for sure, but it seems like they're ramping up production now. In any case, I feel like it's the player I'll be using for a long time since it's upgradable in future. So I haven't been too frustrated by the wait.
