      No SACD player will output DSD over SPDIF. First it would be technically impossible (too much data) and second, it would be against the rules.

        so SACD has more data than dvd-a with identical sample and bit rates?

          The digital output on DVD-A discs will be a Dolby Digital or DTS version of the album, not the high-res DVD-audio.

              Yeah, peter, for transmitting SACD or DVD-A digitally, you either have to use HDMI 1.2/1.3 or a proprietary link like Denon's Denonlink.

                Oppo DV-970HD Now Available
                by gostan
                Oppo has released its' long awaited upconverting universal DV-970HD player with HDMI connection and SACD & DVD-A. Great for those of us with internal or external scalers. Here are the features you get for a lower MSRP than the older 971H player:

                Oppo vs. Onkyo
                by hawkfan
                I am currently working on my first home audio/theater system. I will have Nat Ps as the mains and will build the sub and rears later on. I'm looking at the Onkyo 604 as my receiver right now. It has HDMI in/outs and it works with 4ohm speakers. What I'm really confused about is the DVD/CD player. I...

                Is the Oppo really that good?
                by Trapps
                I'm new to posting here, but I've been lurking a fair bit here and on some other sites (ones with politics, egos and clique type bs). I just upgraded my pre/pro from an RSP980 to an RSP1066. I need a DVD player in another room now and plan to move my very old Sony. This leaves a hole in my system:...
