Will an external DAC work on SACD?


I am using a universal player and would love to get an external DAC. I assume it will not work on SACD or DVD-A, only redbook. Anybody have a definitive answer? Thanks!

I have read that Sony's SCD XA5400ES does carry the SACD signal direct, but only through the HDMI output to a compatible HDMI receiver.
There are a number of players that will output DSD over HDMI as well as a number that will output DSD over iLink, dLink or other uncommon interfaces.

Cerrot: Yes, it is an SACD DAC, but the problem is his universal player that he wants to use as a transport will not output the way he wants it to.
