RE: Thanks for that, how about a digital connection?

If the SACD player outputs in SPDIF it means that it has converted the DSD from 2822/1 down to PCM at a much lower sampling rate. There will be loss of resolution, but probably not so much as if you had gone through the analog hole. The output sampling rate and bit depth will depend on the player and how it is set up.

If you want to get the full resolution of the original SACD (an exact clone of the music) you have to make a DSD copy. This will require professional equipment, DIY skills (e.g. soldering), or the Playstation or other method that breaks the DRM. (Breaking the DRM is probably illegal when done in fascist countries even if you own the disk.)
