SACD transports? Which models can transmit SACD?

Just wondering if there are any SACD transports which could send the SACD digital signal to my Accuphase DP-75V (which can have an SACD DAC card added). Obviously the digital out would need to transmit this format- perhaps the Sony DVP-s9000 ES. Any thoughts? THANKS!

Thats why SACD is not an upgradable player... I am stuck with my SACD1000 which sounds like S_IT... Saving $$$ for SCD-1 or Lindenman.

The only SACD that output PCM is the dcs that will cost you over 10000$$

At least three units will output SACD data via firewire using the standard format agreed last Autumn/Fall. They are the Sony SCD XA 9000es, the Denon A-11/5900 and a recently released Pioneer universal player (I think it might be the 59Avi). All of them output a DSD stream using firewire and a common (i.e. standard) format.

There have been some problems with the Denon unit being unable to communicate with non-Denon gear; a firmware upgrade is said to correct this.
