Will SACD Formats Play through a Standard DAC?

Denon uses Denon Link which is an RJ45 connection between their receivers and SACD/DVDA players. There is also I-Link which Sony uses and various other companies use their own methods of sending encrypted digital signals between player and processors. Some of these schemes work with other companies' devices. I believe Denon Link and I-Link will work with various processors.

Try to Oppo digital 970HD universal player. It will convert SACD to 24 bit 88.2KHz linear PCM at the digital output. It only cost $150 and makes a nice dvd player.

Wloeb...The Oppo players look great, but I don't think they will output six discrete channels in digital format such as can be input to a DAC. They do output a data stream for Dolby decoding into six channels.
