Looking for SACD player

I want to replace my Jay's Audio CDT2-MK2 with an SACD player that would be used as a player (with it's own DAC) for SACDs and as a transport to a Berkeley Alpha 3 DAC for regular CDs.  I have Prima Luna EVO 400 amp and preamp and Devore Gibbon X speakers.

I have been looking at the Luxman D-07X, but it's a little out of my preferred price range (up to $10K).  I have also listened to a Marantz 30N and while it sounded OK, it has a lot of extras (network, bluetooth, etc) that I don't need or want.

Please don't recommend that I switch to streaming.  I prefer physical media.

Thanks

Zapdady here,
May I suggest the McIntosh MCD600?
I purchased one for $4000.00 and love it every day.
A little scares, but worth the search.
Good luck on the adventure.

I wouldn’t buy high end audio on ebay, craiglist, Facebook marketplace. 
buy used here or on usam from reputable sellers with good feedback.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I am most intrigued by the Esoteric which I have always heard good things about.  I hesitate to buy a used one, though, since there are so many unknowns about used equipment and I will use it very heavily (6-8 hours per day).  I may have to stretch my budget a bit.
