Sorry to ask this SACD question, but

What equipment do I need to play the Stereo layer on a SACD at 176.4khz . I have searched the forum for more than an hour and I'm stumped. Lets say I have a https://www.crutchfield.com/p_022CD1000B/Yamaha-CD-S1000.html?search=sacd

Or a https://www.crutchfield.com/p_033DCD1600/Denon-DCD-1600NE.html?search=sacd

and I want to use a Schitt Bifrost Multibit DAC, https://www.schiit.com/products/bifrost instead of the internal DAC. What else do I need?

What else do I need to play SACD at 176.4khz

Please don't flame me, I really am stumped.

You can even switch between the CD and SACD layers to see if you prefer what DSD brings over red book, you just cannot use your stand alone DAC
