reading and decoding hdcd`s

Which DACs accept DVD-V for better movie sound?
A CD player decodes DVD-Vs? Does it play them? 
SACD/DVD-AUDIO vs Technics SH-AC500D Compatible?
The Technics is capable of being a DAC/decoder for DD, DTS and stereo data up to 24/48, I believe. It predates DVD-A and SACD. I use mine ONLY for DD and DTS and use other hardware for stereo CD, DVD-A and SACD. If you get a good receiver with 24/...
