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?

@elliottbnewcombjr I have teh x700 with no displacy, very small format and too light (get pushed back easily). Is the x800M2 any better in those respects?

Bought a used Oppo 103 with remote (put a bid in before really having read up on the player). Hope it does what I need (including playing 4k Bluray, and obviously SACD via HDMI). Otherwise, triggerhappy me added a 4th player to the 'should not have bought' pile.

@elliottbnewcombjr how does the OPPO DV-980H on ebay compare with the Oppo 103 I ordered? May need a 2nd SACD (non video, so 4k no concern) for the 2nd system.
