mark_chat Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Just signed up to get in on this.....albeit a little late. I've got lots of SACD's I would really like to back-up as I now do with DVD-A's to FLAC. Sure hope this project happens! For the meantime I would check Gumtree / eBay and other classifieds. There are still the appropriate PS3 available for creating back up / archive rips of SACD and for a lot less than the 220 that this USB drive would sell for if developed. I have archived all of my SACD's and because I am a pop/rock rather than Classical musical fan, it is unlikely that any further SACD of interest to me will be released. My trouble free and fully working PS3 is therefore about to be sold, if anyone from the UK is interested (and possibly the EU) Link to comment
mjkFendrich Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Hello Mark, I am from Germany - for how much would you sell your PS3? Link to comment
TarnishedEars Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I have archived all of my SACD's and because I am a pop/rock rather than Classical musical fan, it is unlikely that any further SACD of interest to me will be released. I take it that you must not have noticed the continuous stream of Pop/Rock SACDs coming out of audio-fidelity over the past couple of years? Nor have you noticed the even larger stream of the new Pop/Rock SHM SACDs out of Universal Japan, nor the ones out of Mobile Fidelity? The fact is that these companies have been releasing older Rock albums on SACD like crazy over the past couple of years. The SACD format has really enjoyed a major resurgence. Link to comment

Press_to_play Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 For those interested, there's an update on the SACD Ripper blog... and now we know two things: 1) progress is being made, and 2) that our intrepid Ripper has a personal life...! (Who'd have thought that...?) Link to comment

seeteeyou Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 It's still being tested at the moment and let's see how it goes. Toshiba Samsung Storage Technology Corporation made some BD burners for laptops https://tsstodd.com/eng/company/overview/ There are quite a few of them from the SE-506 series http://www.samsung.com/de/consumer/memory-storage/external-drives/external/SE-506AB/TSBD SE-506AB http://www.samsung.com/de/consumer/memory-storage/external-drives/external/SE-506BB/TSBD SE-506BB http://www.samsung.com/de/consumer/memory-storage/external-drives/external/SE-506CB/RSBD http://www.samsung.com/de/consumer/memory-storage/external-drives/external/SE-506CB/RSWD SE-506CB Someone bought that SE-506 USB external BD burner and inserted typical SACD Hybrid into that drive. AnyDVD could recognize the Redbook layer while reporting "unsupported format" for the SACD layer. I'll ask that guy to test AnyDVD and SACD Hybrid with another plain vanilla drive again. He claimed that SE-506 could be found inside one of those Toshiba Blu-ray players but they didn't pay Philips/Sony the license fees for Scarlet Book. In other words, hardware support for Scarlet Book should be hidden since that decoder chip for SACD layer was still there. I know it's almost like some kinda urban legend for now, let's wait and see how it goes. Link to comment

On the list for a long time and not worried or hurried! Ready to assist, but won't be much technical help, unless you need an errand boy to do documentation, or stuff a few boards, or buy you a few parts. Don't be afraid to ask for help?. https://audiophilestyle.com/profile/21384-solstice380/?tab=field_core_pfield_3 Link to comment
beancounter Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Well, I must have been living under a rock to miss this project. I have been casually hunting around locally for an appropriate PS3 but this appears to be a MUCH better solution. I finally registered here and added my name on the list, if it's not too late to jump in. Link to comment
