SACD/CD Player Recommendation

Can anyone recommend a SACD/CD player which came out less than a year ago with upsampling capabilities and balanced outputs that costs under $1,000? (Am I asking for too much?) I know that the Maverick received rave reviews and is now selling for under 1K, but the unit is on the older side.

I currently use a Denon 2900. I am fairly pleased with its CD playback quality. But the unit is over 4 years old. I am sure today's players half the price of the 2900 outperform it.

Taylor Dinerman offers an appreciation of Heinlein on the occasion of his centenary. Of course, he conveniently skips over that embarrassing incest novel <I>Time Enough for Love</I>, but I've always marveled that that one raised eyebrows at all. After all, the heroes of <A HREF="http://ieng9.ucsd.edu/~mfedder/zombies.html">"All You Zombies"</A> (considered by some to be the best time travel story ever&mdash;although I confess to being thoroughly creeped out by it) and <A HREF="http://www.xs4all.nl/~pot/scifi/byhisbootstraps.pdf">"By His Bootstraps"</A> go considerably further than traveling back in time to seduce their mothers.
