As I understand it, when you rip an SACD you're actually ripping the CD layer, is that correct? IIRC whenever I've tried to rip a SACD only disc it's rejected. I've resorted to buying the DSD download from Acoustic Sounds for certain discs, e.g., Time Out.
Follow Ups:
I need something for my SACD Player to do...
Internet radio is quite good through Sony Z1.
I use it to rip SACDs. ;-)
an Oppo, Playstation or Windows Computer.
Other than that. I'm ready to go!
You can rip the CD layer or you can rip the DSD layer. It is just a matter of knowing what you are doing.
Kal, obviously I don't know what I'm doing, but you offered no help. I've been using dBpoweramp.
dBpowerAmp cannot rip SACDs, only CDs or the CD-layer of SACDs. It cannot even rip DVDs.To rip SACDs, you must use one of an expanding array of SACD players that can respond to the "sacd_extract" application. It began with using an older PS3 but now includes many more common players. This has been discussed on every audiophile forum and publication that I know of. Google will reveal all.
Linked below is one of my columns which has links to some sources.

Thanks for the link, Kal, I have an Oppo 105D in one rack and a 205 in another. I use an Ayre C-5xeMP and DX-5 DSD for playing SACDs.
I would just add ( from experience) that before committing oneself to buying one of the used players for hacking to allow SACD ripping ensure that the software needed is actually available.
Two types of software may be needed, one to allow the installation of the ripping software and the ripping software itself. Although you will find links to these in the online literature about such ripping the links to executable files are now often dead. I suspect that lawyers may have been busy getting some of them taken down.
