In any case, your player will not convert SACD into PCM for transport over S/PDIF.
Elk saidSorry, guess I did not make myself clear, I am only trying to play the stereo layer of my SACDs, I know the SACD only outputs HDMI or Ana.In setup, set SACD priority to CD Mode. This automatically plays the CD layer of a hybrid disk.
But note I said earlier …‘I have also set Playback Setup to ‘SACD Priority: Stereo’’. Is’t this the same ?

No, it apperes to not be the same.
From the manual:
- SACD Priority:
To select which audio layer to play for SACD (Super Audio CD). The options are: •
Multi-Channel – Play the multi-channel surround audio layer •
Stereo – Play the 2-channel stereo audio layer •
CD Mode – Play the CD layer of a hybrid SACD disc

Hmmm, will have to check set up again when home, but guess I don’t understand the difference, thanks.

On many SACDs there are 3 different possibilities to choose from.
- Multichannel DSD
- Stereo DSD
- Stereo PCM
