Best SACD-CD Player under $1000?

I am looking for a SACD player that also does a nice job with redbook CDs for under $1000 any suggestions? I thought my next upgrade would be speakers but I think I am changing my mind. I know there is a difficulty in getting both a good SACD and CD player in the same unit at this price point. I listened to a T+A SACD 1245R a couple of weeks ago and it was outstanding but at $5K I am not a player. I have a Forte Model 4A amp and a Forte F-44 preamp, tara cables and ICs and Sound Dynamics 300ti speakers. My current CD front end is an Audio Alchemy DDS Pro with a DDE v3.0. I would be open to two units if necessary. I have been looking at a Music Hall cd-25 or a Rotel rcd1072 for redbook, but don't have a direction on SACD.

Cayin SCD-50T - saw these for sale on Gon.
220V but I can't see why they wouldn't convert.
I bought one of these (I'm in the UK).
Lovely looking, weighs a ton and very well built.
Tube & ss outputs.
Very, very good on cd and superb on sacd - actually runs my Musical Fidelity Nu- Vista player very close at a quarter of the price !

Gotta second the Denon DVD-2910. If you do some research you'll find out just how good this unit can be. And if you work at it you should be able to find one for a decent price. There will likely be plenty of suggestions in this price range, many of them will be quite good units, but a bit more research should point out just how good the 2910 is. As Dvorak says - "Recommended!".

The TRL modded Sony 595 mentioned is a very good sounding unit on both SACD and Redbook.
Do a search here and on AA Hi Rez.
See 6 Moons review.

I have no affiliation with seller.

The Denon DVD-3910 is a superb universal player for the money, and does a great job with CD, SACD, DVD-A, and DVD-video. It's gotten terrific reviews, and can purchased NEW for about $1050 from an authorized dealer. I'd be glad to provide more info if you drop me a personal E-mail.
