I have a Denon 2910. Put it in pure direct mode for all your 2 channel listening - it'll play SACDs into 2 channels. You'll see a 2 speaker icon on the unit when you hit display. In the Super Audio CD Setup, select "Stereo" (as opposed to Multi or CD). I too only have a few but the SACD sound is wonderful. (hope I'm understanding your question correctly).
Can SACD's be played in ony 2 channel format
I have a Denon 2910 that Im using now as a CD player (sort term only). I only have 2 SACD's so this is not that big of deal,but if I understand the technology correctly the SACD's are recorded at a higher resolution than regualr CD's. After reading the instruction manual I'm still not perfectly clear on wether or not if I play a SACD it will output the 2channel info as the same as the equivalent CD source.
