They output the audio using HDMI?  If so, what TV supports taking that
sort of bit stream?  Also, while the HDMI 1.1 standard supports
24bit/192khz PCM audio over HDMI, it doesn't actually support DSD over
HDMI yet (so if someone is doing it, it isn't a standard extension).  I
suppose they could convert the DSD to PCM before transmission though,
assuming they could get a license to do so from the SACD owners (or were
not intending to sell any units in places like the US).
