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?

For your scheme to work you need a device that will extract the DSD datastream from HDMI, convert it to a PCM datastream (perhaps 24/96) and output it on connection compatible with your DAC.

From its description the device does not appear to support extraction of a DSD datastream.
