I did wonder whether the US one had a typo (wouldn't be the first time Sony have incorrectly stated a player can play SA-CDs) but a quick look at the hi-rez photos on the European press page does show the SA-CD logo on the front top edge of the new machines.
I'm glad you checked and found it because I had the same worry and the American pictures I saw so far showed no SACD logo.

If the new Sony machines do indeed play SACD, wonder if they willhave DSD output.

You mean by HDMI, right?
Given these new potential SACD players are Blu-ray based, I doubt these will have multi-channel analog outputs.

It's possible that the BDP-S770 will have multi-channel analogue outputs (based on the fact the BDP-S760 and BDP-S550 do). It enables people without HD audio compatible home cinema amps to benefit from Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD MA etc.

Even if they have SACD output via HDMI, it's not a given it'll be DSD-based. It could be a PCM conversion like with PS3 (though less likely IMHO).
