Will SACD Formats Play through a Standard DAC?

There is a mod shop in Switzerland who will sell you a modified multichannel player (SACD and DVDA) with digital outputs, probably PCM that the standard DAC can handle, for all six channels. They will also sell you the circuit boards if you want to mod your own player. Evidently Sony's control of the industry does not extend to Switzerland!

Dartford, can you share your resources other than "a mod shop in Switzerland?"

Sounds interesting.

So, has anyone made an outboard DSD decoder? Is there anyway to get the DSD out from an SACD player? Just curious.

I believe that the EM (Ed Mitner) Labs D/a will decode Sacd format. They are very pricey though.
