From what I understand about SACD, is that the actual drive has to have a Sony chip to even read the SACD disc layer, so there's no easy way to, for example, get a USB disc drive and hack it with your computer like was done with DVD. Indeed, Sony was careful not to even license SACD to devices that would output the DSD over a digital signal until quite recently using encrypted channels like HDMI can achieve.
Honestly, the easiest method is to use an old PS3 that has the SACD drive. There's a lot of information on which PS3 models you need to buy and it's more reliable than guessing with DVD players. It's pretty easy to flash a modified firmware and then run an SACD extract program. Once you do this, it's quite easy. Just make sure the PS3 is on the network, run the program, insert the disc then use your computer to rip the DSF files from the disc.
I think this information is not quite correct. There is an easily searchable list of compatible players, and the Sonys are Blu-Ray players from 2012. Here's a link to the whole list, including Sony, Pioneer, Cambridge, Oppo, and other brands:
Down the Rabbit Hole of SACD Ripping and DSD Extraction
I’m a firm believer in fair use when it comes to audio media — if you bought it, you own it, and you’re free to do with it as you please — as long as it’s for your personal enjoyment and you’re not trying to sell it illegally for profit. Apparently the code writers/hackers in the world agree...

Secondly, those Sony Blu-Ray players are dirt cheap on eBay and other second-hand markets, whereas the PS3's are more expensive
Thirdly, you can't just use any PS3 - it has to have a particular firmware version (or earlier), and you have to rely on sellers to know this informatino (and the correct firmware-version PS3s that were never updated command a price premium because they are relatively rare since most units' firmware was updated over the years).
Finally. the PS3 units run quite hot - people regularly mod them with bolted-on fans and such to try to keep them cooler when they're ripping.
So the Sony units are easy to identify (model number, no special firmware version requirement for most of them), very cheap, and run cool. And if they ever break, you can get a new one for $30 or so.
