The only way of actually ripping SACD audio/streams digitally (that I’m aware of) is with a Sony PlayStation 3, one of the earlier models that could actually play SACDs. I think it was the same model that was backwards-compatible with PS2 games, and it had to be soft-modded to install the ripping software/firmware to the hard drive. I think it just ripped the iso image which could then be transferred to a PC to then do the extracting/converting/separating.

If ever you see a SACD rip online, the description usually says it was done like this. For some reason, SACD support for computer disc drives has never come about.
