Best reasonably priced SACD player?


First time I've ever started a thread asking for "the best" of anything because I generally dislike such discussions. However, although I have redbook covered pretty well, I've been buying more CD/SACD *hybrid discs and am curious about the SACD layers. For the purpose of this discussion "reasonably" priced would be up to $1200. Also prefer volume control because I don't use a pre-amp.
Thanks!

* Mostly because a lot of titles of interest to me are only available as hybrid discs.

If You need to control the volume from the player, make sure that its done in the analog realm. Digital volume control 'strips bits' degrading the signal.
I've just done a lot of research (but, alas not much side by side auditioning) and concluded that Oppo was the best opportunity for me. However, my budget was much lower than yours.

I selected the BDP-95. It has analog volume control (from analog outputs only; not HDMI, coax or optical) and converts DSD directly to analog without a PCM step, if you choose. It also plays HDCD and DVD-A, which the Marantz won't. I can almost guarantee that you have some HDCDs hidden in your redbook collection. Mine were Mark Knopfler and Joni Mitchell, to name a few.

I believe the 105 has all these features. We'll see about the new audiophile model (not the 203).
I have had the DV-50s for several years. I use the K-03x for 2 channel listening, but; have a library of SACD's. For multi-channel listening I use the true 5.1CH AUDIO OUT terminals to a Classe SSP800. The performance of the DV-50s is outstanding and a bargain at current used prices.
It is good to read that in 2017, the DV-50s is still an excellent spinner.
Hopefully, Esoteric will continue to offer support / parts for their older players.
