HDMI dembedder option for DAC use?

While trolling the web I ran into a computer audiophile thread on this device Atlona AT-HD570

http://www.atlona.com/Atlona-HDMI-Audio-De-Embedder-with-3D-Support.html

I'd love to take SACD player higher bit rate HDMI output and feed it into the Dlink III DAC. Does anyone have experience using this or a like device; can it work well with a regular audio DAC, better than the CD format out direct to DAC?

what caught my attention was the thread assertion that the Oppo players will sense whether the HDMI device supports DSD and convert to PCM since the HD-570 does not, at a higher bit rate than CD. Agreed that DSD to a standard DAC doesn't work. Heres the thread
