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

[xeroc]

Here are my brief instructions for BDP-S390. I didn't try server mode as I was only interested in local ripping via Telnet.

 

Things to pre-configure

-----------

(1) Set up networking (WiFi or fixed line) on the player and note down your IP address

(2) Format 4gb flash drive (FAT32)

(3) Place AutoScript folder found in the link below in root of flash drive (containing 3 files)

Ripping

---

(1) Power on. Player will boot into standby mode. Turn player on to home screen
(2) Insert SACD. Autoplay will start. Return to home screen
(3) Insert USB stick. Wait a few seconds for AutoScript to trigger (nothing will change on screen)
(4) Telnet to player IP address. Connection should be established. Login as root (no password)
(5) Goto Music Settings and toggle SACD channel selection once (from Multi to Stereo, or Stereo to Multi)
(6) cd /mnt/sda1/AutoScript
(7) Run ./sacd_extract_160 -I
(8) SACD ISO extraction should begin to USB drive. 

(9) Remove USB drive and convert using iso2dsd if needed.
