CD Player Recommendation

I posted a question about modding my wonderful Rotel RCD 855 the other day, and I looked into the recommended Rotel RCD-971, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't look into a newer CD player. I love the sound of my old Rotel, but I suspect the newer players are vastly better. I have a large collection of domestic and Japanese CDs, and about 1/3 of them are SACD. Is it worth buying a SACD player ? If so, what one is recommended for around $500.00? I'm not interested in a video player, only audio. Would a good quality CD player be better than a SACD player?

That is a good recommendation- thanks. Does it decode SACDs?

I'm kind of interested in an audio-only player for around $500.00. There are lots of video blue ray players that also play SACD, but I'm not interested in those. I guess my question is wether I should go for a really nice CD player, or try to find a CD player that also plays SACDs? I've been looking at Cambridge Audio players, but none of them play SACDs. Is it worth holding out for a technology that might not last?
