Sony SCD-2000ES multi disc SACD player?

any one heard on of these units yet?
My Sony dealer (www.oade.com) is saying that they are hugely impressed with its SACD performance. 1bit DSD DAC....as it should be.
$250 box that performs way out of its league.

I'm tempted.
I want a new deck...it needs to be:
good SACD playback
good Video
able to pass 24bit / 96kHz PCM from DVDs.
any recomendations?

i'm also considering a used Philips 963sa. I've owned one before, and I know that its good.

I do not believe the Sony SCD-2000ES plays DVDs. So it does not appear to fit your requirements.

I know it doesn't, but that is the least important of my "needs"...
so i'm left to ponder wheather to hold out for the right single box solution, or go w/the audio requirments first and then a cheap DVD player for movies.
