Well, yes and no, I guess.
The SACD and CD layer of the disc will probably contain the same mastering (e.g., more pronounced bass). The CD layer won't have the higher sampling rate and other technical benefits of the SACD layer, but you can rip and encode it.
While it's technically possible to rip the SACD audio and convert it to FLAC, I don't know if that would carry over all the technical benefits.
Whether or not you'd be able to hear those technical differences is another story altogether.
