refurbished NAD M5 vs new SCD-XA5400ES

So are we agreed that For around a $1000, for 2 channel SACD, the refurbished ND M5 and the new Sony SCD XA5400ES are the best choices?

ie they would sound better than some of the older used marantz in the same price range, or even the used SCD777es which is slightly more expensive?

Thanks

The Sony has balanced XLR stereo outputs as well as multichannnel HDMI output.

Where are you getting the Sony around $1000?

Actually you are right I am seeing it more around 1200.
