SACD and DAC

Since many SACDs are recorded in 5.1 surround, does anyone know of a decent SACD player that has digital output, similar to the Digital out on a DVD (optical or RCA)? And, does anyone know of a DAC that can handle such an input? Most DACs I have read about are strictly two channel.

Good response. Let me add that some players/receivers can also do this with iLink (IEEE1394) and, in addition, some Denon devices can do this with DenonLink. However, the receiver end has, afaik, been restricted to receivers but there's no reason a DAC or pre/pro cannot be designed for that.
