SACD ripping using your PS3 (part 2)

[ALRAINBOW]

HELLO

 

i have a ps 3 question . the first time i did a iso on the ps3 it copied it to a usb thumb drive. it showed the progress in a window.

when it was done all went well.

now i am doing another and in the window where you pick to start i hit the x to cammand to start it does and the file appears as normal on the thumb drive . but there is no percentage window . i just waited about 30 mins and did not see the light on the thumb drive blink anymore. how can i get back to the original screen for burning.

You stumbled upon one of the few (3 or 4) error conditions in the ripping process. You did fine.

 

I documented them in this post.

Your issue is common, but requires a reboot of the PS3 (hold power button till it beeps, then wait for it to power down).

thanks it worked. i do have one more issue . i have win 7 and need to format a thumb drive to fat23 . it is formated now for win 7 . i cannot see an option to do it in win 7 no fat32 option even in disk mng

help.

[ALRAINBOW]

ok i found a program to format it at 60 gig all better now.

but i had to change the disk i am backing up as it kept doing the same thing with my elton disk.

 

thanks all for the support great site

[ALRAINBOW]

one last thing is there a list of disk,s that give trouble in backing up.

as my elton john tumbleweed backs up but does not display even after i reboot. i just waited for the usb to stop flashing. oh well.

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? What do you need additionally?

 

Hi Ted,

 

My apologies for the late reply. I just noticed that your PM ended up in my spam filter. In the meantime I ended up figuring out how sacd extract works with a little trial and error. Thanks again for the information and all that you have done for the forum. Contributors like yourself have done an immense and irreplaceable amount for the audiophile community!!

 

Best,

Battles

Ted - I'd love to a look at your guide, too. I spent a fascinating afternoon last week with someone who owns one of those old PS3s and who ripped my little collection of Esoteric SACDs with it. Worked just fine. I'll have to figure out how I want to play back my .iso copies, or convert them to PCM, but that is another story. Just to say I can confirm this works, and well. Seemed to take about quarter of an hour per average SACD. Cool!

Oh...sorry....got it thks

Simple question , all works very well . I can play the ISO directly on my mytek and can convert to FLAC. My question is how to convert to WAVE , and can it be done directly from ISO image

 

ALD

[ALRAINBOW]

PS one last bit of info . I use Jriver and foobar for playback mostly Jriver.

[Synfreak]

You can use Foobar to convert to WAV (or FLAC or ...) with the build in "Converter" - just right-click on the track(s) you like to convert and select the wanted destination format and location ... (the sacd_input plugin must be set accordingly to the sampletrate you wish to use).

[ALRAINBOW]

I also have DBpower will this convert to wave directly as well?

[ted_b]

I also have DBpower will this convert to wave directly as well?

From FLAC, yes. From DSF or ISOs, no (but we are working on them ).

 

BIgger question is this:

Why would you convert these DSD files to PCM (FLAC and WAV are PCM containers) when you have a perfectly fine DSD-capable machine. The conversion is quite damaging, relatively speaking (i.e no need to do it).
