  1. This is a good start but obviously not a complete list of verified players that are capable of using the method described in this thread to rip SACDs. I know there is a partial list early in the thread that I was unable to find. I'll look again and maybe create a list of said players.
  2. Hi guys, Is the an unofficial list of ALL the players that have been verified to work using this method for ripping SACDs? I thought there was one somewhere within this thread but haven't been able to find it. Thanks in advance.
  3. Spike44 Said: Now that I have successfully created dsf files, I still need a recommendation which device is the best to stream these files from my NAS (prefered gapless). Would the Marantz NP8006 be suitable? If you convert the DSF files into multi channel FLAC (which is easy to do with FOOBAR), your choices increase significantly. Personally, I use a Popcorn Hour and a Mede8er and both work perfectly. Both are significantly cheaper than the Marantz.
  4. True, but there is a way of ripping Blu-Ray Audio (or video). I do it all the time.
  5. I know you are not being cynical because I went through the same frustration you did. The correct files depends on what player you are using. I found a guy here on this thread that was using the same blu ray player that I am (Pioneer BDP-80FD) and he gave me the page # from this thread that pointed me to the correct files. What player do you have?
  6. I had a similar problem and the solution was to copy the correct files onto my thumb drive. Once I found the correct ones, it was smooth sailing. Because this process has evolved over time and with many different types of disk players, the files that are being used are different. My 2 cents.
  7. Maybe that's one of the reasons the SACD format pretty much died. Once people stopped spinning discs and ripping their CDs, the SACD format got less desirable. Maybe the format would have survived if they didn't copy guard them like regular CDs so people could rip them. Did that strategy backfire? Maybe.
  8. Thanks synfreak, I used sonore as you suggested to make dsf files and then Foobar 2000 to add tag info to the dsf files. Foobar finds tag info via freedb but when I open one of the dsf files in a tag editor, there is no tag info. How are you adding tag info to the dsf file, or are you tagging the file before converting the iso file? BTW, with the sonore I am choosing Sony DSF as the Output Mode and not checking the "Convert DST to DSD". Is this the right or wrong setting(s)?
  9. Just curious. Is it possible to rip the SACDs in DSD file format as opposed to ISO? The reason I ask is because I'm planning on buying a Fiio X3 which claims to play DSD natively.
  10. Officially ripping my first SACD (America) with a big assist going to Mook. Once you get the proper files, it's a piece of cake. Thanks to all who contribute to this thread.
  11. Hi guys, I've received my Pioneer BDP-80FD, and attempted to rip my first SACD, and unfortunately have hit a snag. Here's what I've done. 1) Set up Pioneer player, turned off autoplay and resume. 2) Connected to WiFi 3) created usb with Autoscript folder with the 3 files in it. 4) Drawer opens after powercycling the player, and inserting usb stick 5) run windows sacd_extract from the .cmd file script, modifying the network address to be what is assigned to the player; confirmed address via my router, and also the network information in the player to be correct. 6) Fails with the windows error: "sacd_extract.exe has stopped working" Any help appreciated! Thanks in advance. Btw, I"ve also tried to run the mac version of sacd_extract, which also fails, with "libsacdread: Can't open 192.168.1.43:2002 for reading. Here is the windows command in the .cmd file: sacd_extract -i 192.168.1.43:2002 -P -I
  12. Exactly. Couldn't have said it better myself. I never rely on a program (dbpoweramp, itunes etc) to do my searching for cover art.
  13. I find it hard to believe that you can't find cover art for every disc that you have. I have some pretty out of mainstream discs that I have had no problem finding cover art for. You must have some really obscure stuff. Where are you buying these discs that you are unable to find cover art for?
  14. Hi sevenfeet and welcome. I may have a solution for you. PM me and I will give you details. Cheers!
