Anyone Playing SACD/DVD-As on a PC ?


Is it possible to play these formats on a PC? What software/hardware are you using?

Nope, no digital output nor recording with DVD-Audio. There's a warning/notice as soon as you put a DVD-Audio disc in the drive.
The reason we're not all doing this is the embedded copy protection the labels want in their high-bitrate releases. I think this is a large part of the reason these formats are headed for the graveyard.
I just installed a Sound Blaster Audigy 2ZS Platinum, and it has DVD-Audio built in. I might buy a DVD-Audio disc to check it out, but the lack of ability to import songs into iTunes is still a huge barrier for me to view this format as anything but an experiment.
Interesting questions - I'll investigate them over the weekend and will post back.
