The defining attribute of CD is 44.1 Khz sampling at 16 bits per sample. SP/DIF can accomodate 96 Khz @ 24 bits sampling. If you convert the analogue output of an SACD player into 96/24 then naturally it's going to sound better than CD. If, however, your ADC (analogue-to-digital converter) runs at, say, 44/16 then it's going to sound just like CD.I would be hesitant to convert DSD into PCM at any rate, because you'll essentially lose any benefits of DSD and gain any shortcomings of PCM - the worst of both worlds? Still, given that most of my SACD's are PCM based anyway (at least the MCH mixes) what the hey.
Cheers,
Paul.
