Decent SACD?

Guys, thinking to buy a first for me 'new format' source... Heard of some cheap ones, not very good things; about pretty expensive ones - they're too expensive yet :)
Are there any decent, recommended SACD (or DVD-A) players in range of $1500 - $2500, that also would be capable of really good CD playing?

Have you looked at the new Music Hall Maverick? The CD25 is a great budget redbook machine at around 600.00 retail. The Maverick is built on that platform and style, adding on SACD capability. It also weighs about 9 pounds more than the CD25 at 22 lbs. It's new and I haven't heard it yet, but am thinking about getting one myself. Retail price is 1500.00

I have a Sony XA-777es sacd player thats pretty good redbook player (I never feel like I'm missing anything). It's sacd playback is one of the best. It can be had in your price range. It also does sacd multichannel as good as any.
