How do I rip Sacd/Sacd Hybrid's? - Page 2

It's finally happened.

So Sony messed up and the first two generations of PS3s can bypass SACD protection?

Fascinating.

There is already since a while. It's called DSD Disc format. It only works for stereo though, not (yet) multichannel. And of course it will never be hybrid (CD-compatible) either.

Interesting.

But, while that is useful for burning SACDs you rip as backups or for playing with the handful of Sony players that will play DSD Discs (and apparently other brand computers with a WMP plug-in), it's useless for everyone else...  It won't play in standard SACD players.

plus 40+ million PS3s out there (even the ones that don't play SACD do support DSD Disc format) although sadly/ironically they will not output DSD via HDMI but hi-res PCM...

Yeah, but I don't ever plan on getting a PS3.  I suppose my computer would work fine, but I really want to get a remote music server thing going.

I was thinking about getting a Logitech Squeezebox Duet.  But now that I've found that there's another, barely more expensive way to play my FLAC files: There is a Winamp plugin that allows output over the Apple Airport Express.  There's also an iPhone/iPod Touch app that allows it to act as a remote for Winamp.  Put together with the DAC of your choice, and you've got an elegant high-end music server set up for about $350 plus the cost of the DAC.  Heck, if you hide it right, no one will even know what or where the source is!

But I'm not sure if there's a Winamp DSD plugin.  I couldn't find one with a little bit of Googling, anyway.

I post a thread on this exact topic, and I didn't spot this thread. Silly me.

That is an interesting development, but slightly more effort than I'd like to expend though... I've got to deprecate my current firmware somehow, install Linux, yada yada... not quite my idea of fun.

It is possible to rip SACD and it's possible to convert DSD to PCM.

They sell modified SACD readers that allow you to rip them in digital format. They cost quite a bit though.
