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.

The SACD layer can be ripped using a PS3 with old firmware and some proprietary program. See this link: http://code.google.com/p/sacd-ripper/

You can then convert DSD to high rez PCM if your DAC is not DSD capable. More trouble than it's worth in my opinion, but it can be done.
