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

[louisxiawei]

Guys, I need help.

 

I desperately need a Blue-ray player to rip my favorite SACDs at modest price. It is so hard for me to find a Pioneer BDP-160 or BDP170 nowadays. 

 

I live in UK, anyone knows any potential sellers that have any stock of Pioneer BDP160/170? 

 

Or has anyone found any other new model (not discontinued) for SACD ripping?

took me three months to finally find one 

a friend, in UK, just got one so... keep hunting

 

I know! There were one bdp170, two bdp160s sold on ebay UK recently. I neither won the auction nor fast enough to check the item out.

 

I'm also happy to pay some money to borrow it from anyone who is willing to lend it to me if possible.

 

Oppo 103 and Cambridge audio CXU are just too expensive for the purpose of SACD ripping alone. But that might be my last option.

how many SACD's do you have?

perhaps you can do the other way around? someone is ripping the discs for you?

Embarrassing enough, I only have two albums I want to rip (Other SACDs I have either there are some being ripped and shared on the internet or I bought the digital DSD version)

 

I know there is a SACD ripping service, but that's in US. Please do share if you know any SACD ripping service based in UK.

Thank you my friend, one kind gent just helped me out. Thank you all the same.

Thank you Jud, believe it or not. All pioneer bdp160, 170 are out of stock in China. I can find none on Taobao. 

 

I believe most of Pioneer BDP-80FD available at the moment are 120V model. So a bit sad.  (I live in UK now and will be in Shanghai soon, 120V is not ideal)

I manage to get a second-hand Pioneer BDP-160 finally. Strictly follow Ted's two instructions (one from haggis999 and the other from HiRezGuy)

 

In haggis999's instruction case, ISO2DSD shows that：

Failed to connect

libsacdread: Can't open 192.168.1.9:2002 for reading

 

In HiRezGuy's instruction case,  when I run sacd.cmd, a window pops up displaying that sacd_extract.exe has stopped working. (A problem caused the program to stop working correctly)

 

BDP-160 LED screen shows: SCN SVR in both cases.

 

Has anyone had the similar issue? Any help would be appreciated.

To me this looks as if your BDP-160 is on standby. SCN SVR means screen saver as this would be shown on a TV screen.

Have you follwed HiRezGuy's instruction:

A. Under the Pioneer Elite BDP-80FD setup screen, disable auto-play and    auto-resume functionality.

For this the BDP-160 has to be connected to a TV screen

 

 

 

 

 

Thank both for the tips.

I did download the BDP160's autoscrip from this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1yl8cffq273ebah/SACD-extract-BDP160.zip?dl=0

 

But ISO2DSD should do the rest of the work, shouldn't it? Or it must be run by command prompt with sacd extract?

 

@KVDB010

 

You caught me right. "Disable auto-play and auto-resume functionality" is the only step I didn't "strictly" follow because I don't have HDMI cable at the moment to connect to a TV screen. I thought it's not vital as haggis mentioned. My bad. Will try another time. Thanks again.
