I've got 800+ SACD and almost all have hybrid CD layer (93%) PLUS a stereo SACD (99.9% of them) PLUS mutli-channel(from 3.0-5.1) (99%). The stats above are the actual stats from my library.

Phil, sure the player will output SACD(after conversion to analog, of course)without needing any downstream help from a processor. The help that is needed for it to be output and played is to have the right track on the disc selected by the user. As we discussed a few years ago, multi-format players have dual lasers that optimally read DVDs and SACDs(650nm wavelength)and CDs(780nm wavelength). For the 650nm laser to focus on and read the SACD rather than CD layer in a hybrid SACD the user has to select SACD(or HD)rather than CD in the menu. On the Dvorak disc(Reiner?), assuming that it's genuine, the only way that the track on the CD layer plays instead is if CD was selected. Check the setting procedure in your manual.
As to the DSOM disc not outputting anything, there's no apparent reason from your description. If the coaxial analog connections were still intact, something should have come out.

Thank you John. I guess I have to read the manual. It's like asking for directions. Not happy about that.
