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?

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.
