Suggestion of single-box SACD and DAC player

Hi all, I would like to know are there any SACD player which can be used as a DAC (digital in)?
So far, I know that Cary 306 SACD can use as a SACD player and take digital in. My budget is around $3k. Right now, I own a DAC1, and I am looking for a single box can do both SACD and DAC.
thx

McIntosh MCD500 SACD/CD. It has 2 digital inputs. It also can be used without a preamp because it has both fixed output and variable outputs with a level control. It has the new Sabre 32 bit dac chip. 4,ooo used

there are many choices; do a search for this question.

my favorite SACD player/DAC that i have heard would be the Playback Designs MPS-5. it uses an Esoteric disc drive. the MPS-5 has many different digital inputs so can be used from almost any concievable digital source; a computer or any transport. the MPS-5 is also the best sounding CD player i have heard.
