DMB in SACD or DVD-A?

It appears that they release DVDs with 5.1 for viewing but no DVD-A or SACD audio only discs. I wonder why?

I know I haven't seen any SACD or DVDA stuff out of them. I don't really know why. DMB fans seem to be pretty tech savvy overall and it's obvious that people have the playback capabilities, considering how many DMB tapers release in native 24 bit.

Similarly, what's your playback setup like? You using some sort of digital speakers or do you have a D/A in there?

Right now I'm running a 400-disc Sony DVP-CX985 to a Denon AVR-2307CI to a Rotel DB-933 3-ch Amp. My speakers are Martin Logan SL3s.



I'm going to get a new Oppo DV-981HD and an external DAC at some point for SACDs and keep the processing off the Sony and Denon. Neither really have very good DACs built into them. I can't afford the $2k SACD players with the good transport mechanisms in them.
