I bought this to add DVD-Audio and SACD capabilities to my surround system. It has digital audio out in both Toslink and digital coax. Be advised however that you must use the 6 channel analog outputs to get sound from a DVD-A or SACD disk, so you must have an amp with 6 discrete audio inputs. You will get no sound from the digital outputs with DVD-A and SACD (this is not a flaw with this DVD player - that's just the way the formats work). The menu and setup are very good with many customizable settings. It does have built in DD and DTS, so you can play pretty much any video DVD and get 5.1. The remote is very nice with a good layout. The only con I've found is that there seems to some compatibility issues with some DVD-A disks. For example, I put in a brand new Alanis Morisette DVD-A and it says "cannot play disk". After searching forums, I've found that there seems to be a flaw with some of the firmware on some disks. All the other DVD-A's Ive played have worked fine though. Since this was purchased essentially for audio, I can't comment much on the video side, but watching a DVD on a SD TV seems just fine. It does load disks pretty fast.Read full review

The Pioneer DV-563A is a great CD player. While its primary use was as a DVD player. Its other audio capabilities were second to none. It has great CD audio and MP3 support but was also one of the only mass consumer devices to support the SACD (Super Audio CD) format.
Bought it to use as a CD player. Running it through a vintage 70’s receiver, along with phonograph, 8 track and cassette. Great sound.
