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

[Lkdog]

OK, I apologize in advance but I am stuck getting this to work on my OPPO 105 and Win 10 system network.

I downloaded the files and followed the instructions using SONORE on this document.

 

Ripping SACD using Sonore

 

It took me awhile to be able to get the JAR file with the Sonore app open but finally got that going using a program called JAR Executer.

 

I have the USB stick in the OPPO with the Autoscript Folder and the three files in it.

Loaded the SACD.

 

I put the network address for the OPPO into the Server Input screen in SONORE.

192.168.1.101  (I removed the 2002 at the end of the address, and then put it back. Neither way works).

I set it for DUAL and SONY DSF.

 

I hit EXECUTE and get nothing.

Tried both wireless and hard wired.

 

The OPPO is working on my network as I use J River to play files on it.

Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong here?

 

Thanks.

Do the 3 files in your Autoscript folder have exactly the same names as shown in the fourth bullet point on my instructions? It's important that only one of them has a file extension. When you powered up the Oppo 105 with the USB stick plugged in did the drawer open automatically after a few seconds?

 

Thank you for your time. Things seemed to be going fine until I tried to open the JAR file to open the SONORE application. Finally got that going.

 

SONORE application just doesn't talk to the OPPO. Everything looks like it should in the SONORE application.

 

The files are exactly as your instructions require:

 

AutoScript
AutoScript.TSS
sacd_extract
 

They are in the folder labeled AutoScript. Nothing else on the USB stick.

 

When I power up the OPPO with the USB stick plugged in the drawer opens halfway and shuts quickly.

The OPPO says USB IN.

I reopen the drawer and put in an SACD and it loads normally.

I have turned off Auto play and Auto resume.

 

No luck when I hit EXECUTE in SONORE. 😞

If you open a cmd prompt in Windows and enter Ping 192.168.1.101, do you get a response from your Oppo?

 

 

Yep. All good there.

The Port is always :2002, put it back and leave it that way (no exceptions).

 

I'm not sure where you got a script that half opens and then quickly closes the disc tray, but I'd ditch it completely if I were you and use this one instead, it is known to work with the server method and Oppo based players.

 

After a bunch of failed attempts, you should power cycle the Oppo (with the flash drive removed), and after replacing the AC cord, allow it to complete its initial boot sequence before reinserting the flash drive.

 

 

Mikey-

 

I tried the files you linked to. They looked the same as the ones I was using, but was certainly willing to give that a try.

 

Also powered cycled and then inserted the USB stick.

 

The drawer still opened and shut quickly for some reason.

 

I then loaded the AutoScript folder onto a different USB stick an plugged that in.

The drawer opened normally then. I inserted the SACD and it loaded normally.

 

SONORE still does not initiate the rip though.

Here is screenshot. Everything looks OK here I think. .

You left the Sonore folder completely intact per the instructions? No moving things, deleting anything, change nothing there, leave it exactly as downloaded.

 

Yep. Reinstalled it.

The 2002 at the end of IP address is there.

Now that you have the disc tray acting normally, power cycle again, clean the slate, and give it another try. Don't hurry to press Execute, give it a couple of seconds after the tray is closed.

 

Ok, went through that again carefully.

Disc opened normally.

SACD loaded fine.

 

Waited to hit EXECUTE.

 

No luck.

As I mentioned earlier I had a helluva time getting the iso2dsd_gui.jar file to open to get to the SONORE application.

I downloaded JAVA, and tried everything I could find.

I finally got it to open with a program called Jar Executor.

JAR Executor

 

 

Is there some sort of permission in the file Properties?

It's a dumb Windows thing with regard to how .jar files are handled, it used to be rare but seems more prevalent now with Windows 10.

 

You should have been able to just right-click the .jar and choose Open with -> Java, with no need for a 3rd party program. It is a file association issue, nothing specific to this software, if you Google .jar file association Windows you'll see it.

 

 

Yeah- it would not open with JAVA.

The JAR Executor program got it open SONORE.

 

Just can't get it to talk to the OPPO now.

 

 

[Lkdog]

Ok, minor update.

 

I uninstalled JAVA and the JAR Executor program and started over.

Installed both 32 and 64 bit version of JAVA.

 

SONORE opened right up with JAVA.

 

Put in the network address.

Pinged it from Command prompt. All good.

 

Rebooted the OPPO. Everything looked fine.

Drawer opened up, SACD loaded.

 

Tried to Execute from SONORE.  No luck again.......

Sonore ISO2DSD is quite different/separate from iso2dsd_gui.jar and they use different/incompatible versions of sacd_extract.

You should keep them apart in different directories/folders.

 

I am not following this but it is probably me. LOL.

 

I have the iso2dsd_gui.jar  file unzipped in a separate folder. I can right click on it and open it with JAVA.

SONORE then opens.

 

It is just not communicating with the OPPO unit for some reason.

You only need the 64-bit version of Java, I don't know why you installed the 32-bit version as well, the requirement here is 64-bit Java, and it does work on Windows 10.

 

 

I deleted the 32 bit version. The JAVA website said to install both 32 and 64 bit versions if you used Firefox or other non compatible 64 bit browsers.

 

The iso2dsd_gui.jar does open now with JAVA.

 

SONORE is not talking to the OPPO still though......

Kal that's incorrect, they do use the exact same sacd_extract now, Sonore updated their repository to point at EuFlo's enhanced version 0.3.9.3.88.

 

In fact, the executable included with SACDExtractGUI going back to mindset's original version in fall 2018 and the update he did in spring 2019 were always compatible with ISO2DSD, but the vice versa was not true, i.e. the older executable in the ISO2DSD package was incompatible with SACDExtractGUI until Sonore recently updated it back in August (or so) with EuFlo's new version.

 

 

Mikey-

 

The sacd_extract I am using on the USB stick in the Autoscript folder is different than the one in the zipped SACDExtractGUI file.

The one I am using is 345kb.

The one in that unizpped folder is 7MB.

 

Should I try the other one?

 

[Lkdog]

Success!! 😀 Thanks to MikeyFresh and everyone else here who jumped in.

 

I ended up using the files on here instead.

SACD extraction for dummies like me

 

Got it going after I figured out the GUI field to point it to the SACD_extract.exe file.

 

Listening to CHET by Chet Baker right now.

Sounds great.

 

The newer SACDExtractGUI program is much easier to use.

 

Will allow me to stream DSF files via JRIVER to my external modded OPPO Sonica DAC which I like a little better than the OPPO 105 stock unit DAC. Both very good though.

 

Thanks so much everybody.
