SACD playback the DAC

I don't know of any external DAC that supports SACD playback.A few HT receivers now support SACD(DSD)playback via HDMI.If your SACD player has coax or toslink out,you can connect to a DAC like the Cambridge or Benchmark for redbook CD playback but you will not be able to play the SACD discs in this fashion.You must connect a separate set of analog RCA 2 channel(or 5.1)cables to your preamp for SACD playback.

Thanks but Please suggest whether we can use the HT receivers as a pre amp (if we connect thru HDMI)? If yes, Please suggest some brand.

There are at least two DAC's that can support SACD's, but they are high-priced. One is the Meitner. Can't remember the other, offhand.

Adding to Ncarv's post, the EMM Labs (Meitner) DAC has a proprietary interface that can only be used with the EMM Labs transport. Another company with its own proprietary interface is dCS, its DACS will decode an SACD signal but only through a proprietary link with their transports, and I believe Accuphase also had such a link on at least its early SACD transport/DAC combinations. I have heard of the HDMI links, but don't know much about them--if he's looking, maybe Kal (Kr4) can help on that. The Benchmark and Cambridge DACs you mention will not decode an SACD signal, only a pcm signal.
