Choosing a CD or SACD player over my Oppo BDP 95

Greetings! This is a branch off of an earlier thread. I am considering an dedicated cd and/or sacd player as un upgrade over my Oppo BDP 95 universal player. Consensus seems to be that this will provide "better" red book playback which is 95% of my listening. As it is nearly impossible to do live listening comparisons where I live, I ask my fellow ’Goners for their input and suggestions. My system consists of said Oppo, Magnepan .7’s and Parasound Halo integrated.
Thanks!

A used or NOS Sony 5400!

I have one and two spares.   SOTA SACD/CD playback that may "Never" be matched for the price.  Beats or matches $10K players IMO.

The Oppo 105 would be a big upgrade (dual ESS Saber Dacs + dedicated audio out section with XLR or RCA) and you like Oppo, so thats the best sounding red book/universal disc spinner for $1200 on the planet right now. Beyond that I would look to using your Oppo 95 as a transport out to a new DAC of your choice, their are many. doing this would give you flexability for the future ( HD digital audio cloud services) whenever you want to make the jump and add a music server.
