If you can find any spec on the DVD-Audio format
(I think it is MLP ´Meridian Lossless Packaging' or something like that)
we could probably implement it, but I think it is hard to find any
info on it.

SACD I think is even harder, because of the different hardware
requirements. Both cd-reader and d/a-converter. We could ofcourse convert
from the "1-bit" format but you would still need a pretty good DAC in your
amplifier to get better quality. There are no amplifiers with built in
SACD decoder right? The same for DVD-A I think also, only analog out on
DVD-A players.
Is it common for receivers/amplifiers to handle 24-bit/96-192kHz LPCM
audio in spdif?
