Help ripping a single SACD?

I'd like to get one SACD ripped to my server. For now, I'm interested in ripping one and only one disk, so would like to send the disk to someone who can offer that as a service.

My Hegel HD25 DAC is PCM, so a final ISO to PCM conversion is needed, probably a .wav or a .flac file? My server is a Squeezebox Touch dishing out PCM at 24/96.

The disk is a hybrid-SACD (Live Recordings at Red Rose Music) and if too many brain cells are destroyed in pursuit of the higher-rate PCM, then maybe it's not worth the endeavor. I'm thinking it'd be fun to have one hi-res album, since so far my collection is made up from only Redbook files.

Do you want to help?

I have a Tascam CDR.
I have copied SACD's via my Cary 306 SACD player using the analog outs to a quality CDR. I know my copy is only 16/44, but they sound great!.
My reasoning is that using the analog outs is what we actually amplify and hear, so why wouldn't that make a good copy?
