I have a Pioneer Bluray player, nothing special, a sub £200 piece of kit. It will play SACD, and can be set to output PCM, which works fine with the Devialet. The Pioneer is a BDP-450, which is essentially a transport, i.e. it has no DAC. A cheap way to play those SACD's while we all wait for some kind of DSD support. It sound good too, a lot better that you might expect from a sub £200 piece of kit, although being a DAC free machine, you are not spending money on stuff you don't need.
