I never said that you couldn't send bits around: in fact I've told people that I do it. Sony doesn't care about random DSD bits, they only care about bits which are copyrighted flying around loose :) The SACD pit width code and encryption seems to work well and is well designed.
I just said that I double that the interface as implemented will ever fly for a company. There are two obvious issues if you market an interface:
.) In my mind the moral issue of facilitating others to break the copyright laws. (I only rip SACDs I own and I don't share bits.)
.) If you send the bits (sourced from SACDs) around unencrypted you'll never be able to market your device as a SACD device and I believe it's also a violation of the DMCA.
