Do they make an SaCD drive for computers? I got an Audigy2 last year and it came with a DVD-Audio player and a sampler disc, which sounds terrific on my Logitech z-640s. I was just curious if there was any drive that could play SaCDs...the only way I can think of is to get a dedicated SaCD player and run the line-in through an optical connection (or analog).

No, there isn't such a drive. I'm not sure there is even a standadised digital connection for SACDs. I would suggest however that your setup is nowhere near able to distinguish between SACDs and CDs. You need good speakers, a good amplifer, and a competent source (which most SACD players will be) to tell the difference. DVDA on the audigy 2 is perhaps noticeable on good equipment, but seems more like a gimmick.
