Best Redbook/SACD player for under $1000?

I find myself more and more listening to just music. I currently use the Sony 900V for both DVD's and CD/SACD. I am looking for a dedicated music player. I love SACD but it doesn't have to be multi-channel, just 2 channel stereo is what i prefer. Any suggestions?

Sorry, I don't know anything about the 999es.

I have the new Sony 999ES and love it. It has a nice sound with much better bass than the old Sony 7700. It includes bass management and multichannel SACD. And it plays DVD's and much more. Some newer music DVD's sound spectacular with the 999es as compared to the 7700. The 9000es is built like a tank and much heavier than the 999es. If you don't need multichannel SACD you might want to save some $$$ and go with the 9000es though.
