Sorry, they're two different, non-compatible formats. The only way to do this would be 24-bit > D/A > analog in to SACD A/D > SACD format.

It's actually a one-bit format.

I'm pretty sure he was only using the V3 as a preamp in this case (analog out).

I don't believe that there are any consumer devices that are capable of creating sacd disks playable in "normal" sacd players.  I believe that Moke's Tascam burns DSD-encoded disks (DSD is the format sacd disks use), but that the tascam-burned disks will not play back on a standard sacd player.
