Do SACD players have a DSD digital output so that the conversion to
analog could be done externally? If so, is this interface documented
anywhere?


Wouldn't that be nice... you could just send it through a saturating power
amp and a passive filter to the speaker.

Why not? Or buy a $40,000 Wadia outboard SACD converter with TrueRealism(TM)
technology and patented FrenchCurve(TM) time-domain processing. add whatever
BS terms you like here

Seriously, Matt, you act like this is a silly question. Why would it be? Isn't
that kinda the idea of SACD - let the latest technology decide what's the best
way to downconvert the delta sigma modulator output? Why hogtie the converter
to the transport? Oh, yeah! I get it - we get to sell more players that way...
