Can't find the answer to this anywhere so apologies if it's been
asked
before.

Say I have a universal player (which converts DSD to PCM and outputs
24bit/192kHz e.g. Pioneer DV-600AV-S ) with HDMI out, and I connect a
convertor which splits out the digital audio into an optical signal
which I
send to a DAC (say Benchmark DAC1).
1.Will this work at all?
2.Will the copy protection on the discs make it fail?
3.Are all SACD/DVD-A discs copy protected?
