Marantz DV8400 SACD Output

I'm trying to run my Marantz DV8400 into my Cambridge Audio Azur 851 player. I'm using the coaxial output from the Marantz into the Cambridge. I can only get audio if I set the Marantz SACD output to "CD layer". As far as I know the Cambridge will accept the higher output from the Marantz - but the display on the Cambridge only sees  44k. As soon as I change the setting on the Marantz to SACD the Cambridge can't find the signal. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

You can't get SACD from a digital output due to copyright protection.  There are only a couple of players that can do it and you will need a matching dac to do it.  DCS does it as well as PS Audio, but you would need the transport  and dac using the HDMI output.

Won't work you can only use the dac on the cdp to get the SACD layer to play, you have to connect with the analog.
