Who has a separate DVDA and SACD player?
You'll have to wait for my March column if you want that info. ;-)

Bel Canto Pre6McIntosh C45McCormack MAP-1and those are only the ones I've used. Many others. 
Polk Speakers: Good Wood?
I've only seen them at shows but they look superb, especially for the money. 
Ah Tjoeb 4000 - Install Digital Input?
I have not done it but it requires the implementation of an S/PDIF receiver chip and a little associated circuitry. 
Theta Dreams
You might say so; I could not possibly comment. ;-) 
Upsampleing?
Actually, the stair-step analogy is not accurate as the reconstruction filter smooths the outputs to the same result. Now, the nature of that filter can be affected by the output sample rate but that's another story.

Use of Camelot Uther with SACD player???
The Uther VC is analog. It consists of an array of resistors which are selected by relays. If you feed it with the output of the Genesis, the Uther will do the D/A and VC for RedBook CDs. 
PCM or Bitstream
I suspect that the reason it seems to make no difference is that there is none in your setup. If you are using the digital output to the preamp/receiver, this option is to choose whether it is going to output DD and DTS along with PCM. You will ei...
