Sorry, I don't know the technical details of the recording, other than that it's PCM. That kind of stuff does not matter to me at all.
What matters is the sound. I am certain that the CD layer is not anywhere near as good as the SACD. On my friend's expensive system, we first played CD through Kora tubed DAC. I was very disappointed in what I heard, thought perhaps my enthusiasm was misplaced. Then we played in surround through stock Oppo 105, which I think is not much better than decent. All the magic that I heard in stereo through my modded Marantz was back, plus a bit more air and space.
Peace,
