Hi All, I have a PS3 with 3.55 Firmware available in the UK. This unit was unopened before I had a fan mod and new thermal paste operation done to keep it cooler and avoid YLOD. including OtherOS++, and v0.37 SACD ripping software, HDMI cable and controller. Never froze, never had any other issues. Only ripped about 20 SACD's with it, decided that my ears are too badly damaged/old to hear the difference, so I'm sticking with CD. Pick up in Bucks, or send well packaged with a courier at purchasers costs. PM me for pricing.

Hi Yuri, Yes that's right. I'm getting a bit frustrated after days of trial and error! Bas

JRiver does, AK100 doesn't, I'm really puzzled. AK100 has latest firmware and should play DSD gapless, when turned on. Bas

Hi, No, it's not in the middle of the song, it's between songs. I'm aware of the Middle of the song gap in the demo version

Hi Ted, thanks for your reply. I used AuI (demo version), TraX, dff2dsf, JRiver, XLD.. I'm trying to get it to work on my AK100 Bas

Hi David, Regarding Trax, does it do gapless conversion of ISO to DFF and/or DSF? So far I haven't been able to convert one ISO file into a DSF without a 3 sec. gap.. a "click" would be a great improvement!

Thanks! I actually don't mind paying for music I enjoy, and if I enjoy it even more with SACD or DSD, without the danger of loosing it by use, I don't mind paying those prices. I consider my former investment of 500+ CD's of which around 100 where unrippable due to age or use as a lesser one.. Only time will tell, but DSD seems the ultimate music carrier.

Thanks again Jabs, Think I'm there indeed. Funnily enough, after posting I do get the progress bars 3/4 times.. I bought a nearly unused 60gb and had it downgraded via hardware mod. There was also a bigger fan installed to keep it all cool. I only have 10 SACDs but I like the project. After ripping all my (400+) CDs I looked into the whole SACD thing and got interested. Guess I will be only buying SACD and DSD downloads from now on as I'm moving to all digital setup. Will put my CD player on Ebay..

Thanks Jabs, I'm with you all the way. even think at the end I got my full ISO file (3.8GB) but never got a ripper status bar. just stuck to the B/W screen you describe as the "summary screen" no backward or forward.. have to eject and reboot to get back into the "familiar PS3 interface" Think I just thought I could get the pleasure of seeing status bars filling up to 100%.. Will check if ISO is correct, will have to convert that now into DSD or something similar.. Cheers, Bas

Hi Ted, Hi All! I'm totally to this thread and to SACD ripping. I found myself a PS3 in good condition, installed the otherOS and the v0.37 ripper, but, so far, could not rip one SACD successfully. I waited for more then 30 minutes, took out the USD drive (no light) and only had a sacd_log.txt and an ISO of 153MB. 10/10 times the ripper would not go to the "ripper status bar screen" just stuck in the first screen where the disc gets recognised. Can't use my buttons anymore, none of them work. have to do a soft reboot to get the disc out. What am I doing wrong? I really want to get this going! Cheers! Bas
