Short of temporarily moving the 205 into your listening room as a mid-Winter project?
Taking into consideration ripping SACD to .iso has always been, certainly isn't commercially viable in most countries, an unauthorized hack on the Sony/Philips format. No "ripping service" other than of RBCD exists that I'm aware of.
For the sake of conversation, the second cheapest option is a $5 Sony Blu-Ray player on the AS list from a thrift shop combined with a used Atlona AT-HD570 HDMI audio de-embedder. Which has the usually undesired feature of outputting 192/24 from SACD data. Allowing you to compare the RBCD layer to the SACD stereo layer as they can differ. If this suitably inspires you, attempting the conversion at home yourself is possible.
The cheapest option involves a word meaning "fast racing stream of water". I have severe doubts it interests you.

Moving the 205 is always an option but it’s in frequent use, it’s heavy, and it’s a real PITA in general to get behind my stereo systems to recable things. I can always listen in my secondary system, but it really can’t compare to the kind of music my Quad speakers produce.
