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!

If not stated in the earlier thread, what's your budget and what kind of presentation do you generally prefer?
Well, I made a command decision this morning and snagged a mint "lightly used" Oppo BDP105 on Ebay (I know) for $860.00. It seems to be a solid deal and I admit to liking the multi-functionality the Oppo's provide. Less connecting, space taken up etc. I do appreciate the fine input given by all. I figure by selling my BDP95 the net expense to "upgrade" is minimal.
