Multichannel SACD with computer as transport?

I would like to know if someone has managed to read by a computer a multichannel SACD/DVDA and obtained an analog 6ch output with a "traditional" multichannel DAC.

It is protected from reading by 80 bit code and from writing by "pit width modulation" that SACD player is looking for.
