I burned around 225 ISO's without any problems. When converting the ISO to DSF files I had one disc (Beck's Sea Change) get an arithmetic error on track 4 on the multichannel DSF creation. Other than that I had no issues. I haven't tried to play the track to see what happens with it. I would be interested in any suggestions, but it wasn't a huge deal for me. And again thanks to everyone in this thread for bringing this concept to light and providing helpful comments. The one thing I did find almost immediately is that the folders for the ISO rip and ISO to DSF conversion need to be on the root. I had a problem with file names being too long if that approach wasn't used.

Let me amend my comments on the speed (on an Oppo 103). As others have mentioned transfer speed continues to improve as the burn progresses. At 99% the transfer rate was at 2.92mb/sec.

Burned my first SACD ICO no problems and working on the second. Using my new Oppo 103 over a wired network, getting speed around 2mb/sec. Thanks to the authors of this process and all the other contributors on this thread. Going to take a while to create copies of all the discs I own, but at least I can do it now and the Oppo provides some things I wanted that my Oppo 95 didn't.

My bad, one of the early posts states: Close the tray with an SACD. Wait until the player recognizes the disc. Run sacd.cmd on your PC. The ripping process should start within few seconds. So you need to run sacd.cmd that has the parameters.

I purchased an Oppo 103 yesterday and am getting ready to run this procedure. I’m going to put the sacd_extract folder on the root of my D drive. If this works is the SACD.ISO (or whatever the file name for the ISO is) placed on the root of the D drive, or in the sacd_extract folder I’m running the sacd_extract program from? Also, I’m assuming you just double click the program, you don’t need to run it from the command line, correct?

I was thrilled to discover this thread as I have around 150 SACD's that I would like to preserve and also use for streaming from JRiver. Thanks to the people behind this process and those who have posted in this thread. The only question I have at this time relates to the "Firmware Notification" setting on the Oppo BDP-103. I want to keep any new firmware from applying as a precautionary measure until I burn my existing SACD collection. The descriptions in the user manual are a little confusing to me. It seems like I should choose "Off" so it never checks for firmware upgrades but I thought I read in this thread you wanted it to notify you of updates so you could ignore them which implies I should choose "On". Can someone straighten me out on this (tell me whether I should use "On" or "Off")? My apologies because I'm sure that it is explained in one of the zillion posts in this thread.

I'm in. I suspect you can sell a more than enough to make your money back as long as this solution gets communicated in the right places. Keep us up to date with your progress. Thanks.
