Low cost SACD player with remote, display and SACD over HDMI

I wanted to 'try' SACD and finally (I now have 3 additional player now and hand, bought before getting deeper in that stuff) have one that actually plays SACD. 

And I must say I LIKE IT (the Dark Side of Moon  REALLY convinced me to add this format to my portfolio). 

So now I would like a player (still needs to be LOW cost in common terms and SUPER CHEAP in Audiogon currency) that has a bit more 'heft'. The one I use now is just a pound of plastic, and smaller format than any other equipment. But worst: it has NO DISPLAY so I have a PC monitor on top to even use it (Sony UBP-X700).

So SACD, DVD, CD, Bluray, remote, display. And SACD over HDMI (not component output), around $300 (but certainly under $500). Used is fine. 

Does it exist?

How does the Sony XA-5400ES sound with SACD over HDMI into a compatible DAC?

MAX $500. hopefully $300. many suggestions are far above that.

Used probably, and a word of caution:

find one where the owner assures you of low use. The lasers do get progressively weak, and one of the first things to go is the ability to ’find’ the SACD layer.

Ask for photo of the unit playing an SACD (if they have one) (iow, see the display show if found SACD).

a lot of Sony's play SACD including some changers:

some SACD players convert DSD to PCM internally, then send PCM

better if they keep DSD in (SACD format) and DSD out.
