Quality of the source recording and mastering will be significant. I do not have a great number of SACDs. Many of those are of older music that have been reissued and mastered to SACD. For me, I no longer purchase SACDs and instead download DSD should I wish that format due to being original format. Today, so much is done or edited in DXD and then converted to DSD format. You also have user software tools to convert files to DSD as well as DACs that do so.
I would suggest that if you have and/or collecting larger library of SACDs, then generally more expensive SACD capable player may be important and appropriate for you. I have an older Integra Research player that will play the SACD layer, but currently do not have it active. For me, I have ripped all my CDs, including the CD layer of hybrids to hard drive. There are people who will rip SACD as a service or you can pursue doing so yourself with certain hardware and software.
Periodically, I muse about upgrading to a new player, but if I do so, I do not believe I would pursue SACD capability.
