I have never heard of a CD-Rom drive that plays SACD.  I do know that you can play DVD-Audio (96kHz/24-bit) files with a higher end Creative Labs sound card and 5.1 speakers.  Creative Labs even provides you with a DVD-Audio player software to play them.  However, you cannot record the files.  

BTW, I have a Denon DVD-2200 in my home theatre system that plays both DVD-Audio and SACD.  The sound quality is excellent.

Sony has the SACD format locked up pretty tight.  I'm not expecting to see computer SACD players anytime soon.

Did they learn NOTHING from the Betamax?
