  1. Thanks both for the wisdom. It was an OS X install actually but still I suspect something similar, having reformatted multiple times on multiple machines. I’ll try a FAT32 format from W10 and use that tool before hand. Will report back.
  2. Hi all, I'm dropping in to request assistance with trouble shooting. I've been running a Pioneer BD170 (in white, as you asked) for SACD ripping only, since this thread appeared. (Thanks once again to all concerned in making this hack.) It has been flawless and I've done all my SACDs. But I keep buying them... I suddenly needed a USB stick for an emergency OS reinstall, and repurposed the SACD USB drive - the one which goes in the Pioneer to install the relevant script. Now I need to rip SACD again I reformatted the USB drive (FAT) and reinstalled the AutoScript folder with 3 files in it. Sadly however, it doesn't work as before. I put in the USB drive - the tray comes out (sometimes) - and I click on the same file on the PC as previously, but it stops running (crashes) almost immediately. Obviously the crashing of the ripping software on the PC is deadly. But I am also confused by the tray not coming out reliably. I have checked the IP address of the Pioneer. It has not changed (and nor has that in the script on the PC). And I've checked that the Pioneer is visible from the PC by Pinging it: it is visible and responds. It is also listed in Explorer as a network device. I have not checked whether the Pioneer has bricked itself as a SACD reader by updating its firmware, but (a) I turned off auto-update on initial setup and (b) it would seem a bizarre coincidence for that to have happened at exactly the time I futzed with the USB drive. (I can check the firmware version if that helps. And may also be curious whether a firmware update can be reversed for the BDP170, if it turns out to be the problem.) I would be very happy if someone could point out a beginner error in all this, or otherwise help me get back on the road...
  3. Huge thanks for the link! It all worked perfectly, with no need to to Telnet as in the first post above. I've already done 20 discs and imported most of them into Roon. About another 100 to go. Again huge thanks to all involved including of course ted_b for publicising.
  4. First of all, a big thanks to Ted for making us aware of this new technique! (I had bought a PS3 but it was DOA and couldn't be fixed. I threw a lot of money away on nothing, and didn't have the courage to take further risks with that route.) I just took delivery of a Pioneer BDP-170 (European model). Does anyone have any tips or warnings regarding this particular model? I'm currently hunting for the right script in the thread, but if someone wants to shoot me a post number that would be simply wonderful.
  5. Hi Dominique

     

    Is the Merging website having trouble, or are you updating for Munich?

     

    Either way I can't access since a few days.

     

    Best

  6. I was about to get a dCS Rossini, using it mostly as a LAN player, and now I discovered the NADAC. Has anyone had a chance to compare the two? (I rather doubt it, as Merging appear to have one dealer per country, who is usually a pro outlet...) (I'm a bit bewildered by the fact that the NADAC doesn't do any kind of upsampling to Redbook.)
