Although presumably SACD would still need to be converted from DSD to PCM in order for the 861 to handle it (i.e. equal to but not superior to the DVD-Upgrades solution)?
Sure. The older Oppo DV-970 did this by default and the newer 980H has the option of either DSD or PCM on the HDMI output. I just ordered one.
