  1. I just put 1226 on my 103D via a Network upgrade. I now get Congratulations, you have the latest firmware message. I am still able to run sacd extract OK. Also, I extracted 102 isos via wifi with never a hiccup. So wifi is not an issue as long as it is good wifi. I'll be happy to help anybody in the Austin, TX area if any of you are near.
  2. Well, I think that may be a clue then... I'm pretty sure sacd_extract needs a straight up IPv4 connection. While I cannot telnet to my Oppo 103D, it pings, traces and rips correctly and it has a "live" ping-able IP on my lan even when it is "asleep." I have a few switches in my home network, but they are transparent, so all my devices are directly visible to each other.
  3. definitely. Your Oppo should be reachable from your PC. Makes me curious... Does an Oppo Remote app on a smart phone work for you?
  4. those of you having trouble should try doing a tracert. Perhaps your home network is segmented or something. You should be 1 hop from you ripping device and response should be single digit ms like this. C:\Users\Android>tracert 192.168.7.71 Tracing route to 192.168.7.71 over a maximum of 30 hops 1 3 ms 3 ms 3 ms 192.168.7.71 Trace complete.
  5. It's probably not a good idea to call Oppo about hacks like this. If they get annoyed, they may shut the door on it. What is the IP address of your Oppo on your local network? It should 192.168.x.y where x and y are unique to your network. You should be able to go to a cmd.exe console window and type: ping 192.168.x.y and get a response from your device Let me know how that goes for you.
  6. Thanks for the link. After reading the article and looking at the charts makes me think I might be getting a better but less automated conversion using the JRiver DSD -> FLAC. So it sounds like the process improvement I want to make is to down sample the 352 KHz flac to 176.4 / 88.2 rather than 192 / 96. Is that right? Oh, and I do like to take a look in Audacity because I have found a few very bad clips. I am not sure whether they came from source or conversion though.
  7. Anybody else doing any post processing once they get the SACD ISO file? I am doing the following because I want to easily stream my SACD content using Yamaha MusicCast. Open the ISO with JRiver and convert all the stereo tracks to flac. (Maybe I could use external FLAC.EXE here to bypass 352KHz conversion, but didn't want to bother figuring out the parameters) I end up with 352KHz / 24 bit flacs which is more than my Amplifier can handle. I load these in Audacity and change the sample rate to 192* KHz, select all the tracks for the album together (both if a 2 disc set) and "Amplify" to -1 dB. Seems like a lot of SACDs are recorded at low volume or maybe is something that happens as part of the DSD -> FLAC converstion. Export Multiple from Audacity and I end up with FLAC files my 3050 can handle. Use Mp3tag to edit the metadata and attach a 500x500 album cover image. Push it onto my media share. Stereo only SACDs now get stored away since I can play that content from my media share. Multi-Channel SACDs still get kept on the shelf. If the ISO has a really great multi-channel mix, I'll extract a DSF and put it in a special folder of multi-channel music that I can play from my Oppo. * I may switch to only 96 KHz, I can tell no difference between 96 and 192 or the stereo DSD.
  8. I see what you mean. If I zoom all the way into my flac in Audacity, there is a tiny warble on every file from 0.000040 to about 0.000080. I can smash it of course there is just supposed to be silence there. Pain in the butt though.
  9. OK, I see the ISO has both the stereo and multi tracks in it once I load into Media Center. So it looks like there is no need to run ISO2DSF since I can convert the stereo explicitly in MC.
  10. OK, I got my DSF files. There seems to be no indication of if it is the mchannel or stereo tracks. I assume it is the stereo layer since that is what I told the Oppo to prefer, right? Thanks!
  11. So, the local store sold me their demo 103D and I just got it set up about an hour ago. First thing to do of course is try out the SACD rip. I am about 50% through the first disc! I was not able to telnet to the Oppo, but the sacd cmd script ran and is capturing the iso just fine. Thanks so much!
  12. Thanks for the info. It appears most of these devices are stereo only. The only way to push mchannel into my amp is via HDMI. I think I will have to wait a bit to be able to rip multi and play it.
  13. and still get gapless playback? I listen to a variety of rock and classical and gapped playback drives me nuts. So far I have been frustrated with my efforts. I have a Yamaha 3050 and it will play stereo flac from my DLNA server with no gaps. The Wall, Eye the Sky play back perfectly. Also that nice transition in Dreamboat Annie and Hilary Hahn. The Yamaha also plays stereo DSF from a USB key. ( I forget if it will plays DSF from the net, I don't think it will) I also have an Oppo 203. It plays multi DSF from USB but not DLNA. And the Oppo has terrible gaps and chops off the first second or so of music. American Pie become "long time ago..." instead of "A long, long time ago..." Once again, head/bang/brick wall. Ideal Situation Rip all SACDs to stereo and mchannel DSF using Oppo 103D as described in the SACD ripping thread. Rip all DVD-As to to PCM using DVD rip methods describe here. Convert all that to highest quality flac and play stereo thru Yamaha for casual background listening. Play multi channel flac or DSF through magic device that plays them gaplessly and without chopping off the front. Alternative Keep mchannel SACDs in the listening room and play those on Oppo 103 when I want the surround experience. I currently have Windows 10 media server, Oppo and Yamaha all running on hard wired switch together, so connectivity is not an issue. I just need magic box that plays DSF mchannel from files or network gaplessly without truncating. Is there any "magic box" in the $500 range capable of doing what I want? Oh, I'd like to be able to run it from my smart phone like the Yamaha MusicCast app. Thanks for any suggestions!
  14. Phono and line out drive about +/- 1v at tiny currents. You could probably pound on your needle with a hammer and not hurt any electronics. Of course that would be bad for your needle. Speakers cones and coils and speaker amplification output circuit transistors are really the only thing that can be damaged by "too loud". Anything at line or any kind of audio or video interconnect runs at very low voltage and amps. Just barely enough to maintain a signal. I'm sure your TT is fine.
  15. Two parts to the deal.... First, most modern ethernet ports will auto switch to crossover when you create an ad hoc network by cabling two network devices directly together. But I don't know if your devices do this. If they don't, you'll need an ethernet crossover cable available from Amazon or most places standard ethernet cables are sold. Once you got the physical connection set up, you have to give each side a different static IP since there won't be a DHCP server giving out IP addresses. On your Oppo you go into Network settings to do this. After that, they should be talking to each other. You can check by doing a ping to your Oppo's IP address. You should get a reply with an extremely low response time. 2-4ms.
