  1. Hello folks, I ahve occasionally looked around the site, but have not posted in a long time. Life got in the way. I recently had triple bypass surgery which got me back to my stereo system just sitting here, and fired up to get back into it. So my question for now is, is the SACD back up still a hot on going thing ? Are there any new or updated ways to do the process, since I first successfully didit in 2019/2020 , using the software I found out about and an old Pioneer Blu Ray ? Did any reliable service become available to do this for you ? Thanks, Wayne
  2. WOW awesome article. It reminded me to look for my DVD-A from 2002, been meaning to rip into my drives to listen through my ROON system. It might be interesting to see how the streaming Qobuz sounds verse my ripped DVD-A ??? HMMM
  3. Can we assume the 1994 Joe Gastwirt version of Deja Vu is just as good ?
  4. I had all the major vinyl releases of this which are now sold, but also have the MoFi SACD. But after reading this, I found the "Irwin" mixed in some new CD's that I never listened to ! I am going to rip it, the it will be in Roon with my SACD backup of the MoFi !
  5. Thank you. So right now I have a PC with an SSD with ROON and Win 10 on it, along with a second standard drive with Music files. This is all I use this PC for. This is hooked to my network where a Lumin DAC/Streamer that is ROON ready feeds my amps balanced analog in. Considering that this integrated has an excellent built in USB DAC, I was thinking about removing the Lumin and using the Built in DSD USB DAC, but wanted to stay in the network, and keep the USB away from the PC.. But on what you said, don't I need to have the PC on to use ROON to the USB Bridge Sig which is ROON ready ?
  6. Thanks bamyasi, for the info. On the 4th one down I meant to say I do not use the USB on my dedicated PC ?
  7. So currently I use a Lumin DAC/Streamer. If I wanted to switch to another DAC that is USB and not ROON capable, what would I do ? Would the USB Signature player, with shanti and one of the proper software be a way to go ? If so now what. I am totally confused about these products. I am assuming the USB Signature player connects to your network, and is the ROON end point ? Then a short USB into the DAC ? I do not use the DAC on the dedicated PC I am using ?It looks like you can also HDMI into some kind of a monitor to work on the software ? Lost, but looking for the basics, and maybe how hard is this to get working ?. Thanks, Wayne
  8. Is there any current concerns about Sony sending out new firmware, that would prevent using these various units to backup my SACD's ? Are there any settings to prevent this ? Thanks, Wayne
  9. Hello all, I am not savvy enough on the subject to be of much use overall. But I just wanted to say if you are reading through all this and confused like I was , on how to accomplish your SACD backups, I would suggest the following. 1) Get a Sony machine from Amazon or somewhere, used or refurbished. I bought a refurbished S590 with a warranty for about $70 on Amazon. 2)Read through pages 176 and 177 for all the basic info needed to get up running and backing up in a short time using the awake server method. All my questions were answered there for the Sony's. Not trying to over simplify, but it really is that easy. If you run into trouble you may need to ask a few questions, but there is great helpful people here. Also just wanted to thanks everybody here for being so helpful to those of us that need the help. Thanks again.
  10. I see MikeyFresh sent you a PM, hopefully you are on your way ? I just got my Sony S590 going last week in a few minutes with help from these guys. The last 3 or 4 posts on page 177 takes you to the script for the USB thumbdrive for Sony, if that is all you need. I'd be glad to share the info I received, but these guys are a lot smarter than me !
  11. Ok , I just used the existing ISO2DSD Folder and files that have been on my PC since I experimented with my Modwright modified OPPO last year. On the USB Thumb drive, I deleted the Autoscript files and folder from the OPPO use, Then I added Sony script from MikeyFresh above. Followed the instructions from Phthalocyanine, and it went off without a hitch. You were right as I had to add the enclosing AutoScript folder. I backed up 2 last night, they sound wonderful. The Sony BDP-S590 from Amazon certified refurbished @70 bucks was a pretty good deal I thought, with a 2 year warranty for $4.00 more. Looks like brand new. In actuality I did not know these Sony's had some many features options, and played SACD's. It connected right to my network. I may buy a few more new or used to have for backup. Thanks all, I have a bunch to backup.
  12. Embarrassed to say I am lost. I wanted to try this tonight. I have the USB that worked with the OPPO. Do I need to delete those few files that were put on for the OPPO ? Where do I get the correct file to put on the drive ? I did not see that anywhere. Also, I have a folder on my PC call SACD, with some items in it, I cannot remember where I got that also ? This is where the OPPO rips ended up ? I got the Sony server method instructions from Phthalocyanine, but understand most of the instructions, but am stuck on what and where I have to load some initial folder/files on the PC, and what to put on the USB.
  13. This Certified Refurbished S590 showed up today all ready, looks like brand new, with 30 day warranty, and for $4.00 a 2 year warranty from Amazon, not bad for $70.00, I will check it out over the next few days, and read thru some of the Sony ripping process I printed off from here.
  14. So here is one question, will the USB thumb drive I used successfully with my OPPO 105D, work for the Sony S590 ?
