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

More likely than not Pioneer BDP-180 won't get a "fix" in the near future, who knows?

 


Since BDP-80FD was already confirmed to work fine:

We could take a look at our local Best Buy / Magnolia stores and find out if there were any deals as mentioned below:

Or simply grab used ones from New York for cheap:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pioneer-Elite-BDP-80FD-Blu-Ray-Disc-Player/191928347980

 

 

3 of them are available from this brand spanking new seller right now, $99 + $15.43 shipping

Brand new ones cost just under 300 bucks at the moment so that ain't such a bad deal IMHO

We could find plenty of brand new BDP-160 in China and it's like just under $150 a piece over there. Adding international shipping and TaoBao agent fees etc. should cost us 200 bucks or so.

 

These guys do accept PayPal and ship internationally, just ask them and see how much they're gonna charge for shipping etc.

Here's Sony's latest $350 Universal Disc Player UHP-H1 and they did put some source codes online, maybe the same vulnerabilities could be found as well?

Thanks.  Both run Linux 3.10.26 on MTK8580DJAG (armv7l).

 

Just thinking out loud here, does it make sense to acquire a copy of Software Development Kit from MediaTek in order to find out if we're able to get any further with those new 4K UHD models?

"The basis of the technical stuffing is the CXD90049GG chip (rebranded Mediatek MT8581)."

 

Obviously the first link didn't show us anything whatsoever, though they must have created that page for a reason.

 

Even the new kids in town are pretty much the same deal

  • Quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cluster

 

And then let's take a look at the latest 4K UHD models from Sony, they just never bothered to upgrade the Linux kernel since it's still version 3.10.26 at the moment

Heck, even those audiophile-quality SACD players from Pioneer turned out to share the identical kernel version and most likely both of them are also based on MTK8581
