No they won't, since such digital transmission of the SACD (DSD) data is prohibited by licensing restrictions. Some companies offer companion SACD players along with a matching DSD capable DAC which transfer the data over a dedicated link but they're not generally compatible across brands. Some DACs like Bryston's BDA-3 have an HDMI input that accepts DSD data from a suitable SACD player with an HDMI output, but it doesn't handle SACD data via coaxial input.

Digital coax will not work. The specs for SACD do not allow it. The only connection that will pass native/unchanged DSD signals is USB. It is possible, however, to send a DSD signal via HDMI. The process is called DoP (which stands for DSD over PCM) and it requires some behind-the-curtain tweaking to allow the PCM container to transmit the DSD signal. So basically USB or HDMI are your only options. |
