Keep in mind that the transport mechanisms are often the most prone to failure and there are only a few manufacturers that actually build these while all the others source them as oem. There is far less diversity out there than what you might think.
I too have never had an issue with Sony. SCD-1 might be worth a look- or you could hedge your bets and go to a two box setup. The benchmark DAC is very tough to beat an runs under $1k.
