Apparently, Sony is releasing a new SACD player in their high-end ES product line. It looks like one of their better models with XLR and HDMI outputs. I'm not sure if it is a dedicated 2 channel player. It has 1 pair of 2 channel RCA out and 1 pair of Balanced outputs. However, it also has an HDMI out which could potentially make it a 5.1 multichannel player with the appropriate receiver or pre/pro.
It also has coax and optical out with a switch to turn off that feature when not in use but no digital input for enable it to be used as a DAC. This player could be a contender in the SACD market if its priced right. Maybe Sony is recognizing the real-world market for high-rez music on a disc.
