There is a
Yamaha standalone pro DVD recorder which is Linux
based. It
has XLR audio inputs. I assume it can do DVD Audio and SACD as
well as your regular DVD video - if not, it might be just a
question of a firmware upgrade.
Can you offer any more details on this device (where to check out
the specs, etc)?
My mistake, it's a Pioneer PRV-LX1 unit, not a Yamaha:

I think I got confused because Yamaha recently bought a stake in a
Linux firm (Monta Vista) and they were talking about building pro
multimedia products, but I don't think theirs have launched yet.
Sorry about that! On the plus side, this article does confirm that the
unit has XLR inputs and is software upgradable.
