wenda Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I am fairly new to all of this, so please forgive my newbie confusion over the file names, etc. Upon doing some web research, I came across a Foobar plugin called WASAPI. Is this possibly capable of sending the bitstreamed DSD music files to a home theater receiver from a HTPC over HDMI? The SACD-R concept seems good to me; but it would be great to forego the physical media if possible. I am fairly sure that the DSD is not streamed via HDMI on HTPC. Commonly, USB or Firewire interface is used. Be it with ASIO Native DSD driver or DSD over PCM driver (most Firewire devices use this implementation). For multichannel implementation ala Mytek, you just use 3 DACs and 3 USB interface. I have not tried toying with multichannel DSD via USB to Oppo 105. Perhaps someone can chip in. Link to comment

sbuckeye Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I want to thank ted_b for a wonderfully written guide, and all who have helped to make SACD ripping possible! My SACD's have languished for a few years as computer playback made other music so easily playable, and, with my old Sony SCD-1 player having so long load times, they were never played. I have ripped my 180 odd SACD's and am waiting with baited breath for my Mytek to arrive so I can listen to them again. Blue Coast Records has a $200 coupon (for music at their store) and a free 100hr burn-in for the Mytek (but you pay $50 for shipping-free at the Mytek site), a good deal in my opinion. I too will be willing to rip SACD's for free while my PS3 holds up anyone who has not yet aquired a PS3. Just PM me. All messages welcome and thanks again everyone Link to comment

All messages welcome and thanks again everyone I'd like to second this post. ted_b has put a lot of effort into documenting the process of ripping SACDs and I found it so easy by just following the guide. I've just finished ripping my first disc and it all went perfectly. 180 SACDs sbuckeye ?! Nice ! Oh, and Mr Wicked, you are a reverse engineering god. Link to comment
Battles Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Hi Ted, Would you kindly PM me with your sacd ripping guide? I'd like to create a bat file to automate the extraction of multiple ISO sacd rips. I'm just not sure on how to write the bat script and if I understand correctly, your PDF guide illustrates how this is accomplished. Thanks in advance! Battles Link to comment
ted_b Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Battles, you sent me a first PM less than 36 hours ago, and I responded to it with everything you wanted 24 hours ago. What's up?

Jud Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Hi, a question for folks looking at this thread - I've been ripping using the ISO-over-network script. About a week ago, in association with some other problems the PS3 was having (since fixed), the network script stopped working. In the command line window that pops up for the network script which ordinarily shows the progress of the ISO being transmitted, nothing appears, and eventually a dialog box pops up saying "sacd_extract.exe has stopped working." I assume this means it hasn't received any data so the process has crashed/died. After getting the PS3 back from repair, putting the ISO on a USB stick works fine, but the network script doesn't - still has the same problem described above. I've reinstalled sacd-extract (version 3.7) and re-re-checked the batch command. Anyone have suggestions regarding how to get the PS3 and Windows 8 to play nice again over the network? Thanks.

ted_b Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Jud, I wish I could help but the network daemon stuff is my blind spot on this. I've never used it since my trusty ripper (1168 SACD rips and counting...I know...I just jinxed it) is an early non-networked PS3. Anybody? "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.

MellowVelo Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Just ripped my first SACD to .iso format. I plan to save these for archiving purposes and also extract to .dsf format. Should I also save the text file that accompanies the .iso, or can I just trash it? Link to comment
ted_b Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I don't keep it, or even look at it, unless there is an error in ripping. Absolutely archive the ISOs (and back them up).

But yeah, mine seems to be divine-powered so far. I've moved some stuff around; maybe I'll hook a cat 6 to it and try the network stuff, just so, in my next guide update, I can say I used it.

acousticsguru Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Spent an interesting afternoon today with an audiophile who owns one of those old PS3s. We ripped my little collection of Esoteric SACDs to .iso files. He plays them back using the JRiver media player on a Windows machine using on-the-fly to PCM conversion, and recommended that although the files could be converted to PCM using e.g. Korg AudioGate, in all likelihood my best option would be to play them back on my Mac using e.g. ChannelD's Pure Music media player (again, using its on-the-fly conversion capabilities). I'm planning to give this a try, of course, but would be curious to hear if there are other options and if so, which? Thanks in advance! Greetings from Switzerland, David. Link to comment

I'm most interested in on-the-fly conversion to PCM on the Mac - any preference for Audirvana Plus over Pure Music (or vice versa), in terms of either sound or stability (for this specific purpose)?

Greetings from Switzerland, David. Because I prefer Audirvana+ generally, I use it for this purpose, and have not tried PM. Before I got a DAC that plays DSD natively (you need one! , I was happy with the way Audirvana+ handled conversion. But it is easy enough for you to try both and see what you prefer. (BTW, I am using the 1.4.9.7 beta of Audirvana+ because I prefer its sound to that of the current final version. The download link is http://audirvana.com/delivery/AudirvanaPlus_1.4.9.7.dmg .)
