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

[vhrocks1]

I am new to this forum and extremely appreciative of the information - finally a way to rip and then stream my SACDs through Plex next to my DVD-A, DTS, Blu-ray Audio rips which all work flawlessly!

 

I was able to get a Sony BDP-S590 (M12 R.0430) from ebay and it functions correctly.  I wiped a USB drive and placed the 3 files in an AutoScript folder -> AutoScript, AutoScript.TSS and sacd_extract. The drive causes the tray to eject, I put in the SACD, it is read and sits ready to play. I launch iso2dsd_gui.exe from my PC and the error comes up:

 

Failed to connect 
libsacdread: Can't open 192.168.1.45:2002 for reading

 

The player shows up in my "Other Devices" network view and the IP addresses matches above. I am able to ping the address.

 

With so many mixed entries and directions, can someone attempt to make a quick list of directions (and updated links) for this model player?

I can send you my guide but it is focused on the telnet "local ripping" method as opposed to the "server" method, which is what you are attempting.  But the Sony will work just as well with the "server" method.

@Dick Darlington is correct that you need to do the Sony "work-around" right before you hit that button on iso2dsd to commence the rip.  That work-around will be covered in my guide.

The solution to your problem is in @Phthalocyanine‘s guide for the S590. I think there’s a link to it somewhere one the 1st post. Basically you have to trick the player into unmounting the disk. Go into Music Settings and toggle the Stereo vs Multichannel setting *before* you run sacd_extract_160 be that directly or via a GUI front end. 

 

Thank you both for the quick response! The toggle makes sense, that was a piece I was missing. However, I think I have the wrong folder versions on the USB drive. Can you provide the link to the correct ones (there seem to be multiple throughout this thread)?

Since they re-did the server on CA, I don't know where all the links are in this thread anymore.

 

Why do you think you have the wrong folders?  You got the tray to open, so something is working.

 

Open the autoscript files in Notepad or another text editor and post the contents back here.

 

Also check the contents of the autoscript files against the contents listed in the appendix of the guide.

One step forward, two steps back...I copy/pasted into all the files as shown. Now, the tray didn't automatically open. I manually opened it, inserted disc, and toggled the setting. I used telnet and got the following:

I then tried ISODSD, and got the same:

Any additional tips are appreciated, great weekend to all!

I'm not exactly sure what you did in each case.

 

The first one, the telnet session actually looks like what it looks like when it is ripping.  But I don't understand why you put a ? before the command.

 

You can't mix and match "local' ripping to a USB stick with the server method, which rips to a networked computer.

 

You need to pick one method and work at getting it to work.

 

Since you can telnet and get root control, you can go back and try to follow my guide again.

 

Bingo! Good eyes, apparently the copy/paste replaced the - with ?

I manually typed in the command and now I'm golden.

Thanks again for the continued help!

Thanks to the BDP-S590 user guide, I was able to rip over 35 SACDs successfully including one using the special character substitution method. There have only been 3 which did not work after a couple attempts with restarting. The completed MB count goes up and then freezes at a specific spot. All discs are clear with no scratches or smudges.

 

Roger Waters - In The Flesh (disc 1 freezes at 78% and disc 2 80%)

Heart - Alive In Seattle (disc 2 29%)

 

 

Anyone else have this happen?

Great use of forensic mathematics to figure out the possible problem!

(The rip rate is slower at the beginning, so it was probably a few minutes longer, maybe slightly more than 30 minutes.)

 

I would occasionally run into the "going into sleep" problem on my S590 on an unattended long rip.  (This Roger Waters disc is apparently the longest rip of any SACD.)

 

Most of the time I would be in the same room as the player, using a laptop to send the telnet commands, and keeping half an eye on the TV screen while it was ripping, while doing something else, like making dinner.  Whenever I saw the player go into screen saver (which is the first step towards sleep) I would hit the up or down navigation button to get it out of screen saver and keep it awake.  Hitting a button like this does not interfere with the ripping process

Good call @skepitcal ! Each of the Roger Waters discs took over 30 minutes to rip so it was a timeout/sleep issue with the player. With the Heart disc, I was likely distracted between prepping it and starting the telnet commands. My player and desktop are on different floors, so it probably hit the 30 minute mark early in the rip process. 

 

@Phthalocyanine, you may want to add this to your user guide under the ERRORS, PROBLEMS AND FIXES section to make it even more rock solid. Thanks again to all for your quick troubleshooting and assistance! I am so excited to make varied playlists and bring up songs on-demand from all my incredible multichannel albums.

My PS3 ripped iso archive has these 2 files as:

 

Roger Waters - In the Flesh - Live - Disc 1.iso  4,691,138 Kb

Roger Waters - In the Flesh - Live-  Disc 2.iso  4,826,850 Kb

Either those are a different version or they are incomplete. Mine said 100% but both were around 4.7GB and missing some mutitrack songs. I had to reformat the stick from fat32 to NTFS as suggested and then all was well.
