SACD & Wadia Digital Volume Control

Is it possible to connect an SACD player (Marantz SA14 or Sony SACD1) to a Wadia 860x and leverage the Wadia's volume control for both units?

The only way to use a Wadia 850 or 860(861) with an SACD player at this point is to incorporate the Analog to Digital converter. I have this set up in my system and I am very happy with the results. While I am sure that there is some degradation in the quality of the SACD signal, the SACD still sounds nearly as good as it does going directly to a preamp.
