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?

Tony it was indeed the Sony XA77ES,seems any other opinion is irrelevant,it beat the DAC6 too and the New York Yankees.

Thinking about Marantz SA-14 or DV-8400, has anyone tried to compare their redbook performance to Classe CDP-10 or Audio Aero Prima?

Look for a review I did between the Denon 2900 and the marantz 8400 right here, just 3 months ago!

There is no comparasion!!!
The DENON has 0 chance against the marantz in sound.
Picture is an other matter. (If you care.)

Izsakmixer, thanks, just yesterday night I read your review and found it very interesting. Looks like pretty good SACD player in the given price range...
I'm wondering how much I'm going to sacrifice in redbook performance comparing to the best CD players in the same price range: Classe CDP-10, Audio Aero Prima, etc.
