It's technically trivial--the decoded HDCD data that feeds the DAC is fed in parallel to the HDMI driver.

gonk made a suggestion that the 83 might have the capability you describe, but I was subsequently unable to find any verification in the online manual. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, however.
I have one. It's in there.
