Hi, If I rip a normal 16-44.1 CD and use the HDCD DSP plugin (+6db unchecked), will it result in lower volume rips?

Also, If I am changing bit depth while ripping, should I put the HDCD plugin before or after the bit depth change (usually last in chain).
Normal CDs are untouched, no voloume changes.

Ok
Hi, just continuing to understand the HDCD function. I ripped the Dire Straits Brothers In Arms 50th anniversary SACD using the HDCD DSP (without +6db checked) and it ripped to 24 bit 44.1 khz. Ripping it again, I added a 96 khz resampling to the DSP. However, the file ripped only to 16 bit 96 khz. Is there no way to get 24-96 rips from an SACD? Is the default 44.1 and adding another DSP reduces the rip to 16 bits? will you please check?
SACD is not the same as HDCD. Some (most?) SACD CDs have a redbook (16/44.1) layer that can be ripped just like a CD, but you're not ripping the SACD layer. The HDCD DSP has nothing to do with ripping in the example you give. It is rare to be able to rip a SACD. (Can't be done with dbpoweramp).
