Can SACD be converted to DVD-A????

I LOVE DVD-A, especially for car use. Thanks to this forum, I found a wonderful member who has transferred some of my Blu-Ray audios to DVD-A.

After years of searching, I still have not found a way to convert SACD to DVD-A.
Can anyone assist with this? (I have some titles I would really love to hear in the car).

Second, dobyblue's comment regarding car audio I have to disagree with entirely. I do about 75% of my listening now in the car (Hyundai Genesis). The Lexicon speaker system has 17 speakers and plays dvd-audio. The car is well insulated so there's very little outside noise to interfere with the listening experience. I assume other cars capable of playing dvd-audio are also set up to take advantage of the format.

Cygnus asked on instructions on converting blu-ray over to dvd-audio. This would be better for another thread. I know there's already tutorials on how to author your own dvd-audio disc, so I'm guessing you just need a way to get it off the bluray. I either use AudioMuxer or DVD Audio Extractor to rip the audio into individual tracks. With both you choose the audio stream you want such as PCM, DTS HDMA or Dolby TrueHD and then convert those tracks to .wav or .flac files. From there you convert to .mlp. I find it takes about and hour to convert an entire blu-ray to .mlp for dvd-audio authoring. I know this isn't much of a tutorial, but you can look up dvd audio extractor or AudioMuxer for tutorials on ripping blu-ray tracks.

...whatever Elliot Scheiner did with the ELS was just pure magic to my ears. Too bad Acura is going away from DVD-A. If the TLX doesn't have it then I'll probably switch brands, there's no way I could go back to stereo lol.
