Best SACD/CD player

I know I'm old school, but at this late date, December 2015, what's the best spinner that will do both CD and SACD, under $10k

Short list so far is Exoteric K-05X, Marantz SA11-S3 and I don't know what else.

I use it with a 509U integrated and Vandersteen 5A speakers. I am finished. Music from this setup takes me where I want to go. Plus, the integrated has those little things real audiophiles sneer, tone controls. Oh so necessary with many many discs.

I sold mine and purchased an Esoteric K-07 which at first did not like. It wasn't until I change the sample rate that I came to really enjoy the merits of this player.
