Best Sounding Universal Disc Player under $2000?

Hi Everyone,
I was just wanting opinions from people who have heard, compared, or owned several universal disc players for $2,000 or less brand new:
1. Which has the overall highest quality red-book cd performance?
2. Which has the overall best SACD performance?
3. Which has the overall best DVD-Audio performance?
4. Which has the best overall performance on all the formats together as a whole?
5. Is the red-book and SACD performance on the unit you named above as good as the top Sonys?
Thanks alot.
