Hybrid SACD Question

For the time being, I am using a turntable, and a high quality Redbook CD player (Accuphase DP-75V). At this time, for a variety of reasons, I am NOT going with a high rez. digital format, neither SACD, DVD, or DVD-A (still have a Pioneer Elite CLD-97 Laserdisc player which handles all of my video needs, quite nicely!) Does a hybrid SACD disc compromise the fidelity of the Redbook section? For that matter, do SACD players also compromise the performance of the Redbook section? Thanks all!

One of my best sounding CD's is the CD layer of a hybrid disc. ... but the SACD layer is even better.

Also, my $2900 SACD player out preforms my older, MUCH more expensive, Krell set-up buy a long ways.

Therefore, in my experience the answer to both your questions is: no-no
