Multichannel SACD over HDMI


I am somewhat confused about which universal players will output multichannel SACD over HDMI. Is it just universal blu ray players, such as the Oppos, that will do it? My Onkyo TX-SR 3008 is the processor.

The standard for HDMI 1.2 is that is that it will allow SACD multichannel to be sent digitally to a processor or receiver.
All universal players should follow these guidlines to be rated for HDMI 1.2. Of course I don't know if it means output in DSD is mandatory.
