At the top of the 2nd page in the thread, I think, there is enough of what you need to know, and links to files. In my case it is the Oppo 105 player but I don't think your units are much different in procedure, only in the specific files. Off the top of my head, this is what I do...and I do hope that you don't need to use Telnet, which I didn't:
1. You place the PC-side software in an empty folder in your Win10 PC (preferably close to root and with a VERY short name*.) The extracted files will be placed in this folder. You'll want plenty of space available in that drive! Here's is what I remember from the one at home (I am still at work):
"J:\Sonore_I2D\iso2dsd_gui.exe" (main launching executable)
"J:\Sonore_I2D\iso2dsd_gui.jar" (optional Java launcher, can be left out)
"J:\Sonore_I2D\sacd_extract.exe" (works in background, launched silently by either of the above)
2. Turn on the player. You hook up the ethernet connection between player and Win 10 PC. Make sure WIn 10 sees the player but if not, check to see if your router has assigned an IP address for the player and take note of the address. Turn the player off after this, but make sure that there is no disc in the player before you do.
3. Then (with no disc in the player) you insert the USB stick or drive that contains the boot/transfer software files (for your specific unit) and then you turn the player on. (The drawer in the Oppo 105 opens shortly after this but not all players may do so automatically.)
4. Insert the SACD in the player, closing the drawer.
5. In the PC, you launch iso2dsd_gui.exe and enter the player's network IP address in the first 4 boxes, often 192.168.xxx.xxx, but leave the "2002" (port) alone.
6. At the top left, you select "Server Input".
7. Main Options:
-- Let's say that you first try extracting the Stereo DSD only. In "Channel Mode" you select "Dual" (right side controls), and (for the OPPO) choose "Sony DSF" for the "Output Mode". This will extract the files to a newly created folder in separate DSF files. The same happens if you select "Multi" instead of "Dual" for "Channel Mode" and keep the same DSF Output Mode. Except this way you'll get the multichannel tracks.
-- OR, if you want the whole contents of the SACD's DSD layer rendered in an ISO file, simply select "Raw ISO" for "Output Mode". It seems to ignore the "Dual" and "Multi" channel modes and simply grab the whole nine [DSD} yards. It ain't as easily a playable file but some software like JRiver can distinguish both Stereo and Multichannel inside this ISO's tracks for playback. (BTW, I use this ISO as a 2nd extraction, kept for backup and future use.)
-- - For both above, you may also request a cue file and/or a "Print" file. I ask for both and do so for the DSF and for the ISO. Then I save this to the respective folders.
8. Once the options are dialed in, you then press "Execute"...and recite a Hail Mary or somthn'
*Many classical music SACDs generate extremely long file names, Pentatone's more than any! The resulting "path" will sometimes exceed WIn 10's character length allowance. So, the shorter your initial folder name is (off the disc's root) the less you will have this issue. If/when you do, ask about ways to deal with this eventuality...folks around here are very inventive!
I've commented what applies to the Oppo 105 to denote that there MAY be a different way or behavior in other units. I hope this helps.
[The traffic is probably manageable by now...time to drive home!]
