Best 2 channel CD/SACD player $2000 used?

I have seen a lot of Esoteric, Sony, Marantz CD/SACD players in the $2500-$5000 new advertised. Any thoughts on the best available for $2,000 used? Some of the Marantz models come to mind. Tube or ss.

They are sold out in many online retailers. I have one on order, and probably receive it in a week or so. I'll find out how it fares against my Unidisk.
