No they won't, since such digital transmission of the SACD (DSD) data is prohibited by licensing restrictions. Some companies offer companion SACD players along with a matching DSD capable DAC which transfer the data over a dedicated link but they're not generally compatible across brands. Some DACs like Bryston's BDA-3 have an HDMI input that accepts DSD data from a suitable SACD player with an HDMI output, but it doesn't handle SACD data via coaxial input.
