Best 2 channel CD/SACD player $2000 used?

I have seen a lot of Esoteric, Sony, Marantz CD/SACD players in the $2500-$5000 new advertised. Any thoughts on the best available for $2,000 used? Some of the Marantz models come to mind. Tube or ss.

Kal Rubinson from Sterophile gave it a sneal preview in the May issue. Apparently takes redbook data and uses the SACD noise shaper to sample at 2.8 Ghz. Redbook performance is said to be stellar. Too bad it doesn't have a digital input, I would buy one one the spot.

That would be a big bang for the buck. I had that UDP for over a year and just loved it! Now I moved up the ladder to the Esoteric X-03SE.
