Esoteric makes a SACD/CD players that will read what ever layer you tell it to read. SACDs our a hit and miss some sound better than red book CD and others do not. You can listen to the red book layer then change to the SACD layer and pick what so... 
High Fidelity Cables?
I have been busy, but managed to get a little time with the addition of Ricks Apparition XLR cable. Adding the second cable in the chain with the first was unbelievable good. Just a very good large 3D sound stage. Smoother clearer and  very detail...
