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

Done it, there is some life coming up, but still not what I was expecting... It looks there is an issue with a '-o' option the program doesn't recognize... 

 

The -o is just indicating you selected an Output directory for an ISO.

 

Can you post a screenshot of what the AutoScript folder on your USB thumb drive looks like?

 

Also, a screenshot of your SACDExtractGUI folder's contents.

 

There are no issues with any CXU firmwares, unless of course you have the newer CXUHD which will not work at all, only the original CXU is compatible.

I'm using a CXU, purchased in April 2016 - I'm not sure if the CXUHD was released by that time.

Are the flash drive items above contained within an enclosing folder called AutoScript?

 

I can't tell from that view if you have the enclosing folder, but it should look like this:

The HD version had not been released at that point, so you do have the right machine.

Hi Mikey,

 

It looks the same from my end!

[Pat17]

The screenshot is the best I can obtain -

• Ping is successful
• Port is open
• Access to SACD Extract is correct and is launched

But still this invalid option -

 

/SACD/sacd_extract: invalid option -- o

 

I have enlarged the window so to show the '- o' option seems not to be an existing one - not listed. Is there any way to amend the 'sacd extract' file manually and remove the '- o' option?

[Pat17]

I have tried with Iso2DSD, it's ripping at last... 😎

 

I don't know what wrong, what's right, but it looks it works in the end!

 

Thanks to all who have supported me in this perilous and somewhat tedious journey! 👍

Is it possible you have an older version of sacd_extract executable that doesn't support the -o option (file modification date 10 auot [August] 2015) that you're using with a newer version of SACDExtractGUI that does support it?

Thanks BluRay444,

 

By any chance, do you know where to find the latest version so as to solve the issue once for all?

First Rip completed, ca. 180 to go... 😁

In Post # 4426 you can find Nexus3's compiles for all platforms. Both the GUI and executable were updated last spring, so you should delete what you have and use the entire package in Post # 4426.

 

There is one additional step necessary with Mac and Linux to make the sacd_extract component in the package a Unix executable, open a Terminal window and type the following command:

 

Quote

chmod  +x

 

Followed by a single space after the above code. Then just drag and drop the sacd_extract file onto the Terminal window, at which point it will automatically fill in/populate the file path/name. Press Enter.

 

Thats all, you can now close Terminal, and you now have a Unix executable with which you can rip your SACDs in the GUI's folder.

 

I'm curious where you got that original GUI package that wasn't working for you, and if you had done the above to make the executable work?

Thanks a million Mikey for your support, patience and expertise, it works at last!... 👍

 

My original GUI package was under the very same folder than the one pointed out by Nexus3 yet I don't remember where I found it - I have been looking on quite different forums in both English and French (my mother tongue) before coming to Audiophilestyle...

 

175 SACDs to extract and counting! 😎

 

 

[Pat17]

One day later and 65 rips after (i.e. 1/3 of my total SACDs collection) I'm truly amazed by the process. A big thanks to those who have unveiled this process and to those of you who (very) patiently explained it to me! 😎

 

Quite impressive to have so many SACDs ripped in the same time which is needed to convert 2 CDs to FLAC (I know, not the same process at all, but still amazing).

 

Quite thrilling to see how the CXU works smoothly, and after a long day ripping, its ability to playback a Blu Ray as if nothing had happened. By the way, it's completely silent when ripping - I think I read that this was quite noisy on some machines.

 

Quite interesting to note the average speed is above 2.0 MB/sec (most of the time around 2.5 MB/sec) keeping in mind part the process goes through the domestic WiFi network.

 

Quite fascinating to read all the enthusiasm this wonderful process is generating on this thread (sorry, still at page 83).

 

Quite amazing to see how it is good for health - my Mac Mini is upstairs, or if you prefer the CXU is downstairs, so you may imagine how many times I had to climb up and down the steep staircase installed in this more than century old town house of mine!

 

Again, a big, big thank you to all of you! 😍

Hello All,

I'm a SUPER noob, here.  I have ONE SACD that I need to hear/save the multi channels from.  Can someone PM me, plz?


Thank you so much for your time.

Yup.  That's it.  Brand new.  I don't have any equipment to even listen to it on.  I'm not gonna buy a bunch of stuff for one CD.  I had the tracks extracted, but the guy was only able to get the stereo dsf files.

[Kal Rubinson]

If you send it to me, I'd be happy to rip it for you.

There might be copyright issues if you do that.

Hmmm.  Well, I bought it, but I can't even listen to it.
