...Blue Ray Audio - Rip to FLAC?

[ethan417]

Being 66, I am at times out of my depth when it comes to audio technology.
I am considering purchasing a remaster of the Karajan '63 Beethoven Symphonies.
The set comes with 5 SACD CDs and 1 Blueray audio disc.
What is Blueray Audio?
Is it better than the SACD CDs?
Can I rip the Blueray disc with CD Ripper?
How do I rip a Blueray disc?
Also, I don't have a SACD player - can I rip them to FLAC with CD Ripper? - Will I lose sound quality?
Many thanks.

I am sorry CD ripper will not rip SACD (as SACD, only the normal CD layer) or Bluray.

Blu-Ray Audio is a Blu-Ray disk with mostly audio. You can play them in any Blu-Ray player.

Better than SACD? Well, you can play them in any Blu-Ray player. Audiowise, you, I, and almost everyone else on this planet can't hear anything more than standard CD resolution, so no.

Most SACD are hybrid and can be read by a normal CD player. Check if that's the case here.
