scan80269 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Thanks for the welcome and the PM, Ted! I look forward to ripping a few of my SACDs. A colleague and I have been getting better at recognizing the "DSD sound" by ear, though he is much better at it than I am. I went for the SACD-capable PS3 to enable me to do A/B between the DSD and CD layers on hybrid SACDs, to find out how much sonic difference I can hear. Cheers! Sam Link to comment
HighEnder Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Hi ted_b, I got a hint to this forum from my dealer. Even in YouTube you can find a cross reference to you. First I would like to say "Thank You" for providing a solution for playing SACD on the PC. The required PS3 with the firmware level <= 3.55 will arrive soon. However the necessary software for converting is not available on the net. I know I am probably number 8xx who asked you for this service - but could you please send me a PM with all the secrets where I can download it? Best regards Markus Link to comment

richrootes Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Ted et al I'm new here, but am a big fan of SACDs. I just acquired a 3.55 PS3 that I have managed to rip quite a few of my SACDs with, but I want to make sure I'm using the latest ripper, and be as knowledagble as possible so that I don't waste my time and have to go through the whole process again. Would you be so kind as to link me to the latest ripper, and forward any good readmes you might have? Many thanks - looking forward to hours of streamed high resolution bliss......

ted_b Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 No "readmes" but I wrote a PDF guide to SACD Ripping For Dummies you might want. I've distributed it to probably a hundred folks so far. And i'll include the latest (v36) ripper. PM sent. Welcome to CA. "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.

sebassie Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Hi All, Just joined CA today hoping to find anything on SACD ripping. After ripping my entire 15.000+ CD collection and a lot of vinyl I want to try my SACD's as well. I browsed through this thread today. It's a bit confusing what to use for proper ripping, different versions of software and so on. I own both a Mac and a PC. I hope someone is willing to guide me here. Maybe Ted could PM me his Guide for Dummies as a start. Bas Link to comment
sebassie Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Thanks Ted for mailing me your Guide and software. I will start reading tonight. The 3rd download link in your mail returns a 404 error. Hopefully you can fix this. Again thanks for this very quick response! Bas Link to comment

flaklapp Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Hello ted_b, Like so many others here, I am looking to backup my sacd's as well. I hope it's possible to get a copy of your guide too. Sincerely, Frank Link to comment
ted_b Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 HOT OFF THE PRESSES!!!!!!!! GREAT NEWS!!!! I just chatted with Mr Wicked. And it seems there was some news this week in the PS3 scene that the keys are now available for 'lv0'. This means there will be firmware downgrades available in the very near future for all PS3s, so the limit will be completely removed..Stay tuned for more details "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.

wisnon Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Good! Ebay prices should fall as a consequence. Combined with re-balling, SACD/DSD future is much more secure and this segment is now here to stay. Time for the manufacturers to get on board the DSD train!!!!!! Link to comment
sauerball Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Sigh, unfortunately it's like 17 months too late as I passed my SACDs onto my father -- who's 5000 miles away :-) I bought my FIL a shiny, new PS3 to replace the CECHA unit I had bought him before. Very generous of me, I know. Link to comment

The sacd capable PS3's value won't go down in value I bet. It's still a rare model as most of those made are probably dead due to YLOD. The ones that are still running and good will still bring a premium. Link to comment
