Using OPPO to Rip SACD

For many years using a PS3 was the only way to rip your SACD. Only certain PS3 model loaded with certain firmware is capable of performing the task. This particular PS3 model is highly sort after and is not easy to find one. I have been sourcing for one for many years without success. While it is not illegal to make a copy of the SACD as a backup it is illegal to share with others.

Some smart guys came out with an alternative method using OPPO to rip the SACD. Below are the simplified procedures using OPPO and Windows to rip your SACD. Enjoy

Download only Autoscript folder from Dropbox HERE

Download iso2dsd folder from Sonore HERE

Simple Instructions for PC users with iso2dsd

1) Connect your player to your LAN according to the player's manual. Write down the IP address of your player. Check if you see your player in Windows/Network/Media Devices of your PC connected to the same LAN.

2) Copy the unzipped AutoScript folder to the root of a USB stick. You can leave your other files on your stick.

3) Copy the unzipped iso2dsd_PC_v7 folder to a drive of your PC connected to your LAN. Make sure your drive has enough free space for the SACD iso(s) to be ripped.

4) Turn on your player and turn off the Auto Play Mode and Auto Resume in the Playback Setup. Connect your prepared USB stick to your player. The tray should open. You can leave your USB stick in your player or remove it.

5) Insert an SACD and close the tray. Wait until the player recognizes the disc.

6) Run iso2dsd_gui.exe from the drive on your PC. Select Server Input from top left. Select Raw ISO or DSF as the Output Mode. Enter the IP address of your player (from Step 1) in the IP Address Port window. The options for Channel Mode and Convert DST to DSD are irrelevant for ripping to ISO. I recommend clicking on Print to see a track listing in iso2dsd before ripping begins. Click on Execute. The ripping process should start within few seconds.

7) When dsd2iso indicates Done, eject disc and repeat from Step 5 (or click Quit).

Cool

Remove USB stick and reboot to return to normal player use.
