I'm looking at hooking a Sony 777es SACD / CD player through an Electrocompaniet ECD-1 DAC. Will the SACD signal transfer properly? (Hope this isn't a stupid question).
You can use firewire, Denon Link, HDMI 1.3 and other proprietary connections on appropriately equiped players and decoders to pass SACD/DVDA digitally.
Denon uses Denon Link which is an RJ45 connection between their receivers and SACD/DVDA players. There is also I-Link which Sony uses and various other companies use their own methods of sending encrypted digital signals between player and processors. Some of these schemes work with other companies' devices. I believe Denon Link and I-Link will work with various processors.
