SACD transports? Which models can transmit SACD?

As far as I know, there is not yet a standard for outputting an SACD digital signal for consumer grade electronics. Currently, I think only proffesional equipment has such outputs. There is an SACD transport from SHARP but it has a proprietary output that can only be connected to a sharp digital amp

You could buy the insanely expensive Accuphase SACD transport, they have a proprietary link that would transmit to your DP-75v if you had the SACD card, but the 75v could not ouput the SACD data any further. Sound confusing? It is!

Thats why SACD is not an upgradable player... I am stuck with my SACD1000 which sounds like S_IT... Saving $$$ for SCD-1 or Lindenman.

The only SACD that output PCM is the dcs that will cost you over 10000$$

At least three units will output SACD data via firewire using the standard format agreed last Autumn/Fall. They are the Sony SCD XA 9000es, the Denon A-11/5900 and a recently released Pioneer universal player (I think it might be the 59Avi). All of them output a DSD stream using firewire and a common (i.e. standard) format.

There have been some problems with the Denon unit being unable to communicate with non-Denon gear; a firmware upgrade is said to correct this.
