some hybrid SACD do not play?

I have heard a complaint about a few of the top rated SACD players from Marantz and Sony, that they do not play some hybrid SACDs. Can anyone confirm this? I would be very annoyed if I bought one of these players and it couldn't play some of my SACDs.

My Marantz Sa11S1 plays every hybrid I've tried. It does sometimes have a hard time accessing a track deep into a disc with many tracks. For instance, if I try to access track 21 on a disc with 30 tracks, it will just click and click while it tries to find it. If I go to track 10 and then go to 21, it finds the desired track fine.

I had this problem with my 1st generation Sony 9000ES (circa 1999).
Current players should play with no problem (IMO).

Dweller: Which 9000ES are you talking about? There is an SCD-XA9000ES and a DVP-S9000ES. I have an early sample of the former and never have I had a problem with any disc, hybrid or otherwise.
