You can also (still) download the Oppo Media Control iOS app from the Apple App Store. This will display the player’s IP address for you, without having to muck around with the router. 😉

Yes, I think the problem began around the time I upgraded to Big Sur. It is one of several network related problems I have run into since then; this connection issue with my networked Oppo, also connection issues with other Macs on my home LAN, to name two. I have managed to deal with this issue and restore SACD-ripping functionality, but in an inelegant way..... I installed dsd2iso and sacd_extract binaries on Windows 10 (which I have running in a VM) plus the USB flash drive. It sure does work - but I think that speaks to the macOS Big Sur network (or network security) problem I have currently. Ahhh....maybe someday I’ll figure it out, or it will all magically get better with a macOS update.

I'll give that a try....thanks, MikeyFresh.

Freshly downloaded copies of sacd_extract, AutoScript folder, and iso2dsd.jar. The Flash drive has been reformatted and the AutoScript folder is in it's root.

It is an executable. I did 'sudo chmod a+x sacd_extract' to be sure.

I use an iMac with macOS Big Sur, latest version. Interestingly, my setup worked perfectly in ripping my SACD's for several years. When I upgraded to Big Sur, this problem started. The IP address is fixed and is an exact match through all of the troubleshooting I've done.

Hi - I have an Oppo BDP-105 and I am having trouble using the Sonore iso2dsd tool as described in the instructions contained in this thread. Here is the output I get after starting my Oppo, inserting the USB stick with AutoScript folder in root, placing SACD in tray and closing the tray, then executing the jar file: Failed to connect libsacdread: Can't open 192.168.1.242:2002 for reading sacd_extract 0.3.9.3 enhanced by euflo ....starting! Program terminates! I am not sure how to proceed at this point.... Any ideas? Thanks.

I just received this new unit, ordered via Amazon.com yesterday. So far, I have been listening to DSD64 files (DSF's) purchased online - plus those ripped via PS3 from my SACD collection. Headphone listening only thusfar - with my Schiit Valhalla/Senn 650 combo and my Grado RS-1/Grado RA-1 amp. Very good sound; better than my Schiit Loki, for sure. I haven't placed it in my big system as yet since my wired network is in a different spot, and still have a lot of files to move over. Speaking of which - the Sony "HAP Music Transfer" application leaves a lot to be desired, in my opinion. You can only sync a folder - rather than select subfolders (i.e.: albums) to transfer. And since there is a 100 subfolder limit on each sync - and I have over 300 albums each in it's own folder, it has turned into as bit of a pain. Any other HAP-Z1ES owners out there with suggestions, tweaks or other relevant comments? Would love to compare notes. Thanks. Merko

Hi - New user here. I am trying to use the A+ DSD conversion function to make FLACs from SACD ISO files. I select 88.2 kHz (which is fine by me) but what I get are 16 bit, 88.2 files (NOT fine by me). What am I doing wrong that causes the conversion to select 16 bit depth rather than the 24 bit depth I am trying to achieve? Is there no bit depth selection function in Audirvana Plus, or am I just overlooking something obvious? Thanks.
