>>An SACD player has a special chip that monitors the raw output from the laser. The pit-width modulation on the disc creates a varying signal that contains the decryption key to unscramble the audio data. This is the chip that I am worried about. If these stop being made, it will no longer be possible to build SACD players.<<If at some point these are no longer made by the current manufacturer(s), I don't see why Sony/Philips or whoever wouldn't be willing to license the code to someone else. It's done in my industry all the time.
