No. But there was a prototype very early on where the lid was in the shape of the SACD logo.

Well, prototype... I think the term mock-up would be more appropriate.
I had a picture of it (from one of those American home theatre magazines, I recall) circa 1998. Too bad I cannot find it anymore.

Probably not one because SACDs went hybrid, so a portable cd player did the job, then, pow.....iPod.
:-(
On a positive note, there is a potential for phones to decode DSD tracks, or high res pcm.

The era of portable CD players was already over when the first affordable SACD players became available. People who like mobile playback don't want to carry discs and are more willing to make compromises concerning the sound quality.
The vinyl revival didn't lead to massive sales of portable turntables either.

I'd buy a portable SACD player if anyone made one. I think it would be really cool!

Portable disc players are the thing of the past.

Me as well.
When I commute, I still use my portable CD players (although I don't play any of my hybrid SACDs on it). Heck, I sometimes use my Sony Sports cassette Walkman.
Yes, I do have a iPod Nano and a iPhone....but there are no music on either.

Hmmm. Or even, e.g DTS tracks.
