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

Shucks ... thwarted again!

 

I have a PS3 ... with too later firmware.

And now this new method ... uses the next generation Cambridge Audio player!

 

Oh well ... back to the drawing board.

Hi guys… long time member but been away. Returning to being a student meant I was on limited means so no chances to upgrade HiFi, etc. and just wandered away.

 

I’m excited that the Cambridge Audio 751BD has been added to the list as I still have my old player… has anyone managed to get it to work? Or possibly got the Oppo 93/95 working?

 

I think I got the right sacd_extract_95 script which I’ve put on a USB stick. If I insert it in the player (front connector), the tray opens which (I understand) indicates the script is working correctly? But if I put a disc in, then (as I read the instructions) press the off button the player drops off the network.

 

Alternatively, I’ve tried just closing the tray, when I do ./sacd_extract -i (ip_address):2002 -P (which i understand should get the disc details) i get an error message (iirc) Can’t read Master ToC.

 

Any ideas?

Thanks Mikey… gives me hope. I just need to play around a bit more with a few more disks.

 

i don’t care about SACD-R so will check if i need to do firmware update.

Got it working (it appears - doing the first rip now).

 

I hadn't turned the auto-resume function off!!

 

Thanks again for the help Mikey!

I'm bypassing my Mac and using a Linux command line to rip.

 

The two guides I used were — https://gist.github.com/YCHX/535b9a29ebe67b186ff4af83f4ed411b — for general details of the process and then — https://github.com/sacd-ripper/sacd-ripper — has the actual sacd-ripper programme you need to run on your computer.

 

The first link gave me this forum post — https://hifihaven.org/index.php?threads/rip-sacd-with-a-blu-ray-player.3652/page-2#post-69237 — (written by @MikeyFresh from this thread?) which gave me the correct files to download for to put on a USB stick for the player.

 

Also, in that first guide, ignore the steps 5 & 6, instead of putting a disc in and turning the player off, with my Cambridge Audio (which is essentially the same player as the Oppo 93/95 on the digital side) you put a disc in and close the tray using the 'eject' (open/close) button. The disc reads and (so long as you've turned off Auto Play and Auto Resume) can be accessed via the sacd-ripper programme (there is a GUI but I didn't use it).

 

I then type the command line

sacd_extract -i <ip address of player>:2002 -P

to view the details of the disc inserted, and

sacd_extract -i <ip address>:2002 -2 -m -s -o <output_folder>

 

Hope this helps.
