Cheap DVD-Audio/SACD player?

[Mike Anderson]

I think its more or less a copy protection issue that would also apply to DVD-A. I don't think the players allow digital output of either SACD or DVD-A so you can't make digital copies. If you can find any Receivers that accept these formats that might hint at the answer.

So I can only use the analog outs to my regular (non-DVD-A/SACD equipped) amp?

Wow, that sucks. I have to buy a whole new amp/receiver if I want to use the digital signal; what crap. No wonder the technology never caught on.

Suppose one (hypothetically speaking of course) had software to decrypt/decode an SACD or DVD-A disc on one's computer, would one then be able to burn a new disc and send it to the DAC somehow?
