Ripping SACD vs regular CD

I have been ripping my CD's using DB Poweramp and have gotten to my SACD's. Some are duplicate titles that I have already ripped a CD for. Is there any advantage to utilizing the SACD cd layer rip? I dont want to overwrite the MOFI DSOTM with the SACD cd layer if its not superior. I could put them in a seperate folder if there is an advantage.

If you don't have a computer drive that reads the SACD layer then the only thing you can rip is the cd layer of hybrid SACD disks. Doubt there is any improvement there. To my knowledge there aren't SACD drives for computers.

Please someone chime in and tell me I'm wrong because I'd love to be able to rip my SACDs.

Depending on your drive you can rip the cd layer of a hybrid sacd. I have ripped that exact disc. I have one drive that works and one that doesn't.

In a case where your cd is old and the sacd is remastered it would be better to rip the remastered version.
