how can I get DSD signal from my Sony SCD5400 ES

I have one unit of Sony SCD 5400 ES HDMI.
How can I get DSD signal to my headphone amplifier?
Are there any DSD DAC to do that via HDMI?
or should I get Sony TA DA5400 ES ? with that can I get
DSD analog signal out via its pre out?
thanks

Frankly I feel HDMI is not a great transport for audio signals. The M51 for instance often sounds better using the SPDIF than HDMI.

Is DSD available with a SPDIF connection?

DSD is generally NOT available on S/PDIF except for modified players.

The NAD M-51 does not work with the Sony AX5400ES HDMI output. I tried.
