Playing SACD on a Non-SACD Player


Is there any benefit at all to playing a SACD on a normal red book player? Is there added information on SACD that will benefit the overall sound?
Thanks,

You can only play hybrid SACD's on a redbook player. There are two layers (redbook and SACD) on these types of discs. A redbook player can not read the SACD layer. If it is a SACD only disc, a redbook player will not read it at all.
