Hi Dave, there are two things, one could do to judge the quality or the problems of the software (in your case, there was something "in between" - a recording process)

1.) rip the CD-part of the SACD to 44.1/16bit wav and feed it to the DVD+Audio - and then choose the 24bit/96kHz setting of DVD+Audio. The software will then not only convert the signal, but also "enhance" it to 24 bit - whatever that may mean and how-ever they do it...
2.) rip the CD-part directly to 96kHz/24-bit wav and feed it to DVD+Audio. Then, there is no processing involved by the software, only the authoring of the DVD

Since the demo-version allows 2 Albums with 4 songs each, you can actually choose to load the ripped 44.1k/16bit to album 1 and the same songs, just ripped to 96k/24bit with dbpoweramp, to album 2. That way, you can at least compare those two version without chancing DVDS.

For this purpose, you might want to use the following freeware:
http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm
This is a CD-Ripper, that also can convert the format up to 24bit/192kHz within the ripping process.

That way, you will be able to compare your SACD to the "enhanced"/DVD+Audio-processed DVD and a plain and normally, un"enhanced" DVD with the same 96kHz/24 bit audio-format
