There are not many SACDs that are true DSD recordings. Most are recorded in PCM and converted to DSD and written to SACD. The advantage of these SACD recordings is that they could carry a high resolution file to a silver disk. But there is no reason to suppose thay have an advantage over high resolution PCM. Perhaps, due to yet another conversion, a disadvantage.
Some of the best SACDs, IMO, are old recordings where analog masters are converted to DSD and SACD without the intervention of PCM at any stage.
And as Kal writes, we have been ripping SACDs for many years.
