This has nothing to do with the SACD itself. SACDs are typically mastered much better than normal CDs
because they're marketed to audiophiles. This means no
Loudness war-style dynamic range reduction, for example.
If you convert "HD" audio like an SACD down to regular 44.1khz/16-bit, it's going to be indistinguishable from the original audio. However, nevertheless, it will often still be better than a typical CD.
