    Maybe I'm grabbing at straws here. I've got a couple of SACD/CD hybrids and I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a codec to playback SACD's. I've been researching this off and on and I don't think one even exists.

    There is currently no hardware/software available to enable SACDs to play on a PC. With DVD-Audio gaining much more popularity over SACD, its doubtful they will develop it much further.

    If your discs are hybrids you can at least access the Redbook layer. It will work fine on any CD/DVD drive.
