Sacd rabbit hole

So I have Sony sacd dvd player and a marantz 40n amp it has a hdmi input but it seems no marantz amps accept dsd over hdmi, I currently have it working via the tv arc input but the tv limits output to 48khz ( I don’t have earc on my tv and I’m not sure that would make a difference) I have tried bypassing the tv using pcm and bitstream conversion but the 40n never accepts the signal directly from the sacd player via hdmi.
I was considering buying the marantz 70s stereo amp but read it also won’t accept dsd over HDMI either !!
Does anyone know what configuration might work to get the best possible sound quality to the amp.
Thanks
