![]() ![]() I have a Sony player I got for $30 shipped of eBay and I keep it behind a door in my computer desk and use it solely as a dedicated SACD ripper. though, they are arguably even easier than the others because you can use the "sleep method" (which will come up when you Google SACD ripping) to do SACD ripping with those machines without any need of a monitor, keyboard, or even the remote. ![]() But the cheapest and most plentiful ripping machines are the 2012(?) Sony Blu-Ray players - which in my experience also have the most complications and pitfalls when first setting them up for ripping. The Pioner BFD80/160 machines are nearly as easy. Still, doing it with a PS3 or an Oppo 103 or 105 is pretty simple. SACDs are dead easy once you get the ripping equipment and software set up - but the set up is more difficult than the other formats because you can't use a computer optical drive and instead have to use a networked consumer game machine, SACD-capable Blu-Ray player, or universal disc player with special software on both the computer side and the player side. That said, I heartily echo the recommendation for DVD Audio Extractor, as it makes ripping DVDs and DVD-As trivially easy.īlu-Rays just require an additional step, with MakeMKV as noted above - the hardest part of ripping Blu-Ray Audio for me is that I do it so rarely I forget the workflow each time. So some days I just need a little help but, I don't need 70% of it, you can make this simpler, come on, I know you can.!Īll of these ripping issues are object lessons in the futility of DRM - there's always a way around it, and in the age of widespread broadband access all it takes is one person to rip a disc and it's out there. I'm a reasonably-trained media ex-professional, and even my eyes glaze over at the mere random inclusion of a term like UpnP or ASIO in an otherwise-benign sentence in the English language. Just get us to a ToDoList relevant to each situation's different protocols, and bundle it up onto an e-book, or a website, or an idiot-proof format of some sort. And people wealthy enough to have a thousand SACD's (and two Blu-Ray Audios), perhaps have usually about 85% of the smarts to follow these complicated instructions to the letter - let alone the patience and understanding to get to all the "why" behind it all. Using a usb stick in an Infiniti is different from a NAS server hooked to an OPPO is different from the gapless-play issues from this roon to this JRiver, from-yadda-to-yadda. A simple recipe for SACD, one for Blu-Ray Audio, another for DVD-A.and easy-to-grok reasons why this guy may need a TOC file, and this guy needs a FLAC file, and which one needs a.
