HDMI dembedder option for DAC use?


While trolling the web I ran into a computer audiophile thread on this device Atlona AT-HD570

http://www.atlona.com/Atlona-HDMI-Audio-De-Embedder-with-3D-Support.html

I'd love to take SACD player higher bit rate HDMI output and feed it into the Dlink III DAC. Does anyone have experience using this or a like device; can it work well with a regular audio DAC, better than the CD format out direct to DAC?

QUESTION: After buying a Blu-ray player (which?), then how can i get Dolby True HD and/or DTS HD Maste hi-bit-rate PCM movie audio, into my 2-channel Bel Canto 2.5 DAC, then to my amp? and speakers??
I WANT HI-REZ SOUND when watching movies.
Right now...I don't have a bluray player - just dvd played via MacMini. The audio I get is what is on the vast majority of commercial DVD-Video releases namely AC-3 audio. 48 kHz sampling ...only up to 448 kbit/s. Definitely NOT Hi-Rez.

....I hear that BLU-RAY movies discs have Dolby True HD and/or DTS HD Master. so again, QUESTION: After buying a Blu-ray player (which?), then how can i get Dolby True HD and/or DTS HD Maste hi-bit-rate PCM movie audio, into my 2-channel Bel Canto 2.5 DAC, then to my amp? and speakers??
