SACD or not

I have a question regarding SACD format. I am looking to replace my CD player and noticed some CD players have the ability to process SACD and some do not.  I have never heard this format and was wondering if I should consider this in my purchase. My purchase price is in the $1400 range
I know people will question why I am using CD at all. That is another discussion for another time. I still like some physical media in my listening experience. 
I look forward to your comments

The Marantz is a good choice. I have the Modwright version of the SA8005 and I think you will be happy with the choice. Its an excellent cd player and good SACD player. Its well built and musical player.

Yes, let's remember the OP specified $1400 range.

If the OP has a $1400 budget for the player, unless he listens mostly to classical, and there's nothing wrong with that; I think he'll have trouble putting a large collection of SACDs together.

I beg to differ, tomcy6.  See my previous post.  Many Classical SACDs now going for 5-12 bucks a pop

mahler, how can you miss that in each of my posts I say that if the OP is primarily interested in classical music, he should go ahead and start a collection of SACDs?  That is implied in my second post but I think it's pretty clear that's what I'm saying.
