Phillips 1000 vs Sony S9000ES

With both players now below $1000 I'm ready to make my move. Who has compared these two for SACD two-channel quality?

Superior transport yields superior detail, and the upgrade path to an external upsampling DAC is there( for CD read only as the digital out on SACD are non-existent as for most SACD players) with an almost cost-no-object sound quality. Better built too. Simply an awesome bargain.
