mine doesn't do sacd but it does do dvd-A. i spent a year and a half comparing different DVD's CD sound next to my $750 transport w/ outboard dac. finally listened to the toshiba 4800. very close on cd's, video and menu's are very very good and it does uncompressed 5.1 DVD-A's....$200. there are some newer models that do it all but i haven't heard em. i am wary of a do-everything unit (perhaps wrongly) but the hi-speed switching/sampling of sacd requires very high build quality. that kind of sampling produces horrible noise and all kinda bad things...it has to be tamed very gently to produce the analogue type sound that the sacd-only units produce.
