That means DSD not PCM output,just noise or nothing you will hear

Please see page 54 on the preliminary BDP-83 manual, in particular the line:

"The converted PCM data is then output through HDMI or the internal
DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) for the analog audio output ports."

The whole game has always been setting the relevant Oppo player (starting with the modded 980 and 983) to output SACD as LPCM over HDMI, then tapping the bits prior to the DACs for output over SPDIF jacks. The only player that couldn't do this, if I remember correctly, was the 981 due to the PCM data path not being tappable prior to the DAC.
