Adding a SACD player


I want to add an Oppo universal player to my system which includes all Bel Canto electronics. This is strictly for sacds that for right now I play just listening to the redbook layer. My question is regarding the connection to my BC 3.5 DAC, which also doubles as my preamp. I'm confused as to whether I should use a digital or an analog connect. Will the sacd layer be passed thru using the digital or do I need to go the analog route. Also, which dac would actually be utilized, the dac in the Oppo or the BC dac. Thanks

The Oppo does decode up to 24/192 using its internal DACs.

The new Oppo BDP-105 Darbee decodes DSD via USB input from computer files such as HD downloads.

It 's capable of playing SACD but as you say, the decoding is internal and delivered via RCA jacks as analog.
