Marantz DV8400 SACD Output


I'm trying to run my Marantz DV8400 into my Cambridge Audio Azur 851 player. I'm using the coaxial output from the Marantz into the Cambridge. I can only get audio if I set the Marantz SACD output to "CD layer". As far as I know the Cambridge will accept the higher output from the Marantz - but the display on the Cambridge only sees  44k. As soon as I change the setting on the Marantz to SACD the Cambridge can't find the signal. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

You can't get SACD from a digital output due to copyright protection.  There are only a couple of players that can do it and you will need a matching dac to do it.  DCS does it as well as PS Audio, but you would need the transport  and dac using the HDMI output.
