Looking for SACD player............

I’m replacing my Marantz SA8100. Looking at new Marantz SA8500. Anything else new or used  in that price range I should be looking at? Thanks.

The Lexicon is very solid for what it plays. In my Spectral/MIT reference system it needed isolation and conditioning to reveal itself..I use Equitech and Sound Application units and MIT Oracle power cords and I'm happy with the musicality of the RT-20. (I come from a musical family and played piano in youth). I'm hoping new 4K units from Oppo have improved power supplies and sound. Cheers.

My Modwright Marantz SA8005 is performing most excellently !!!!

Has anyone had the opportunity to compare a stock Marantz SA8005 with the Modwright modified SA8005?  I would love to read about that comparison.  Here's hopin'.

Not the SA8005, but the Sony 5400ES, which by all accounts from owners of both MW players is very similar in sound quality:
