All,
In case anyone's wondering, Sony's PlayStation 4 will not support SACD nor
Audio CD despite being designed for BluRay disc playback:

*Will I be able to watch Blu-ray movies on the PS4 system?*
Yes, you will need to download and install the PS4 system’s day-one system
software update 1.50, and then activate your Blu-ray Disc video capability
with a one-time activation through the internet in order to play Blu-ray
Disc films and DVD video content.
*Can I listen to audio CDs using the PS4 system?*
No, the PS4 system does not support audio CDs.

This is in contrast to SACD support in previous PlayStations and
audiophiles who swear the original PlayStation was one of the best CD
players out there. I once pulled out my brother's PS1 to check it out, and
while good, I wasn't blown away w/the quality with the interface being less
than ideal..
