SACD and DVD-A Digital Output

Blue_Max · 3rd December 2004, 01:52 PM

Many universal players have digital outputs for SACD and DVD-A but need suitably equipped AV amps to use it. Stereo Hi-fi users have to make do with analogue connections. May be one of these days someone will write some code that can be burnt into an EPROM for use in an external DAC!

Or is there a way around this problem?

What you are suggesting is not possible in software only. But there are already mod chips available. The first hit on Google sacd modchip revealed:

http://www.dvdupgrades.ch/150019/Mod...put_board.html
6-channel electrical S/P-DIF output PCM 16-24 Bits 44.1/48/88.2/96/176.4/192 kHz
Can also be used in stereo mode only
Standard output is S/P-DIF coaxial three times stereo
Toslink (optical) outputs available
AES/EBU available with three cables with XLR male connectors
SACD: DSD 1 Bit 2.8224 MHz switchable conversion to PCM 24 Bits 88.2 kHz or 176.4 kHz
output format switchable professional or consumer
decoded DTS and AC3 signal from your DVD-Video -> no more surround decoder necessary
