Did you mean RCD-1072? If so, agree with your evaluation of Rotel. The RB-1080 doesn't have the tightest bottom in the world either. One lower cost approach to warming sound and improving the bass could be to add a better power cable to both your amp and your CDP.
To get SACD capability without paying the big bucks, it is necessary to look at some DVD players as well as dedicated music machines. Many suggestions above, while good players, do not handle SACD.
In the same-ish price range with SACD capability I suggest in no particular order after the Marantz:
1. Marantz SA-8001
2. Denon DCD-CX3
3. Denon DVD-3930CI
4. Sony SCD-XA5400ES
5. Oppo DV-983H
Or you could look at used units. Spearit Sound has a refurished M5 on sale for $999 and an M55 (DVD player) for $799 right now.
