CD/SACD player Under $4000

@demondessa correct. But I will not be using I2s out. My DAC doesn’t have i2s in 

The Denon DCD-3000NE is a relatively new SACD player on the market and is excellent. You can usually buy it for <$3300. Only downside is no XLR outputs.

I picked up a used OPPO BDP-103 on eBay for cheap.  I made several modifications to it (see oppomods.com) including adding an I2S HDMI port.  Now it sends native DSD to my DAC.  Magnetar bought up a bunch of oppo laser drive me chanisms, so they'd also be a good choice.   

I found a lightly used Esoteric K-05x a few years ago well under $4k. Sounds great 👍 

Sorry, I’ve never experienced an audio device, except speakers, that I’ve paid over $3k for. Best of luck in your search!

For us cheap bastards, can anyone suggest a great used SACD player under $1000?

thx
