SACD Ripping using an Oppo or Pioneer? Yes, it's true!

[Merko]

Hi - I have an Oppo BDP-105 and I am having trouble using the Sonore iso2dsd tool as described in the instructions contained in this thread.  Here is the output I get after starting my Oppo, inserting the USB stick with AutoScript folder in root, placing SACD in tray and closing the tray, then executing the jar file:

 

Failed to connect
libsacdread: Can't open 192.168.1.242:2002 for reading

sacd_extract 0.3.9.3 enhanced by euflo ....starting!

Program terminates!

 

I am not sure how to proceed at this point.... Any ideas?  Thanks.

I use an iMac with macOS Big Sur, latest version.

 

Interestingly, my setup worked perfectly in ripping my SACD's for several years.  When I upgraded to Big Sur, this problem started.

 

The IP address is fixed and is an exact match through all of the troubleshooting I've done.

It is an executable.  I did 'sudo chmod a+x sacd_extract' to be sure.

Freshly downloaded copies of sacd_extract, AutoScript folder, and iso2dsd.jar.  The Flash drive has been reformatted and the AutoScript folder is in it's root.

I'll give that a try....thanks, MikeyFresh.

Yes, I think the problem began around the time I upgraded to Big Sur.  It is one of several network related problems I have run into since then; this connection issue with my networked Oppo, also connection issues with other Macs on my home LAN, to name two.

 

I have managed to deal with this issue and restore SACD-ripping functionality, but in an inelegant way..... I installed dsd2iso and sacd_extract binaries on Windows 10 (which I have running in a VM) plus the USB flash drive. It sure does work - but I think that speaks to the macOS Big Sur network (or network security) problem I have currently.

 

Ahhh....maybe someday I’ll figure it out, or it will all magically get better with a macOS update.

You can also (still) download the Oppo Media Control iOS app from the Apple App Store.  This will display the player’s IP address for you, without having to muck around with the router. 😉
