Correct. Personally, I rip my hybrid SACDs as FLAC 16/44.1 files, just like any other audio CD.

Yes, CD Ripper is one of the tools in the dBpoweramp Music Converter suite.



Then those SACDs will be hybrid SACDs and you are only ripping the audio CD layer and NOT the hi-res DSD layer.

Have you tried posting in the Apple Community?

If the disc is a Hybrid SACD it will have 2 layers, the hi-res DSD layer and the red-book audio CD layer.

If the disc is a Single layer SACD, it will only have the hi-res DSD layer.

iTunes, Windows Media Player?

It isn't only security/ant-virus software that can cause problems.

What platform, Windows 10?

Looks like flac files are associated with media player classic on your system, hence the media player classic icon..

ALL red-book audio CDs (CDDA) are 44.1 kHz, 16-bit.

It is technically possible to change the bit rate and sampling rate when ripping CDDA in CD Ripper, by using DSPs.
