    Not unless it says specifically that it can play DVD-A. I'm going to guess not...there are only a few BR's out there that play SACD or DVD-A at this point...and they're fairly expensive.

    What Blu-ray player do you have?
    The nirvana inducer-
    APC H10 Power Conditioner
    Marantz UD5005 universal player
    Parasound Halo P5 preamp
    Parasound HCA-1200II power amp
    PolkAudio LSi9's/PolkAudio SDA 2A's/PolkAudio Monitor 7A's
    Audioquest Speaker Cables and IC's

    Nope, unfortunately that player won't play either SACD or DVD-A. The Blu-spec CD's should be coming around soon though if you're looking for some higher quality music formats.
