DSD (Direct Stream Digital) is currently one of if not the best way to record/remaster CDs. All SACDs use this process. My SACD player I use for my surround sound system indicates when an SACD is playing, but if a regular CD was recorded in DSD, the SACD indicator will not come on.

My question is, do you need an SACD player to extract the DSD layer from a regular CD, or will any CD player play it?

Thanks for any help.
