Any Good SACD Player Plays CD Well

I'm using Sony SCD555ES and wanna upgrade to a better one. For the range of USD10000, any good SACD player can do well at red book, which close to the grade of Wadia 861, Mark 390s, or Metronome T1-i Signature?

Actually, my Sony 555 is modified with LClock and Zapfilter from LCAudio. A similar tweak as in Vacuum State, which feeding the DSC output directly to the Zapfilter and bybassing the opamp module. After-mod 555 is comparable with the Sony SCD-1. I'm now itchy and finding a reason for upgrade. The EMM labs is so tempting that I may wait a longer to save up more $$$.

Joesph Audio used it in last year's HEC show and it sounded unbelievable on both cd and sacd. Definitely try one if you can before making your decision.
