KVD Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Hi everybody, I am completely new here (from Belgium, btw) and I have a question on how to rip SACD on an Oppo BDP-103EU. In picture attached you will find the numbers " 8550 " (which I suppose is the MediaTek MT8550 chipset) Although this is the setup (soft-and firmware version) of an Oppo BDP-103EU unit, I am not sure whether this unit indeed can rip SACD because 8550 is not 8580 (as is needed) nor 8560 chip. Can you eventually send me a picture of an Oppo 103 setup page with soft- and firmware details of which you are sure they will work for ripping SACD together with the ISO2DSD software ? Is there any limitation on the firmware upgrade ? Or how can one see that the Oppo actually has this MediaTek MT8580 chip (SOC) on board ? Thank you very much for your reply. You can do this here or preferably by PM to koen.michels(at)telenet.be Kindest regards. Koen. Note : I have not yet bought an Oppo 103 or 105 - Awaiting absolute certainty ! Link to comment
One and a half Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Far as I know any Oppo 10x can rip SACD regardless of firmware versions. AS Profile Equipment List Say NO to MQA Link to comment
KVD Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Hi, Thx for your reply. This may be true, however, the Oppo 103 or 105 would need this MediaTek MT8580 chip (SOC) In the screen of the 2 setups (2 different Oppo 103) (see pictures in first post) I read somewhere " 8550 ". Not sure what they mean with that, but it looks like this is a Mediatek MT8550 chip, which is not the same as the required MT8580 chip. I wish I could find a setup screen where indeed " 8580 " is written. Only then I would be convinced that I have the right Oppo to do the SACD ripping. But " 8550 " may simply mean something else... Who will tell. I'll try to ask Oppo what these digits really mean. Thanks for the info anyway. Koen. Link to comment
CatManDo Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Hi, I have an Oppo 103D EU with the latest firmware, which I have used for SACD ripping (my main ripping device is a Pioneer), and my Firmware screen shows exactly the same info. Claude Link to comment

KVD Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 Dear Kal, Thanks for your reply but sorry for some delay in answering this. I have again included an image of the Oppo 103 setup screen, but now the one from the Oppo player I intend to buy tomorrow. Everything looks the same again as before. But just to be sure, if you tell me this unit with this setup screen will rip SACD, I will be truly convinced. (Note the screen is in Dutch language) The way how to rip SACD with an Oppo is hereby included in PDF. That is the right way to do it, is it not ? Hope you can confirm. Kind regards. Koen.

Kal Rubinson Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I cannot make a guarantee at this distance but................................ 1. I have a 105 and a 103 and they both say 8550 in the same place that it appears on your screen. 2. AFAIK, every 105 and every 103 will rip SACDs unless they are defective and/or modified for other purposes. tmtomh 1 Kal Rubinson Senior Contributing Editor, Stereophile Link to comment
KVD Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hi, Thx again. Have you seen the PDF in previous message ? I think it is the right way to follow. I intend to first keep the ISO files (as backup) and as a second step let IOS2DSD extract the DSF tracks from the ISO. Thanks for any further ideas or suggestions you may have. (I am pretty new to all this...) Koen. tmtomh 1 Link to comment
Kal Rubinson Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 There are many procedures and, if this came from this forum or another reliable open source, I am sure its OK. (I cannot read it without downloading and I hate that.) What you say sounds OK. Kal Rubinson Senior Contributing Editor, Stereophile Link to comment
