SACD Backup copies?

[GabeL]

Hey there, I'm wondering if there is anyway (that doesn't involve $$$ and too much hardware) to make backup copies of my multi-channel SACDs?

Thanks,
Gabe

The only way I know of is to play them into your PC with the analog 6 Ch out of your player into a 6 channel soundcard. You can record the tracks at 24/96 with the proper hardware, then make a DVD-A out of them, or a DTS CD.

That's the only way I know of. At least there are no copy protection issues doing it this way with SACD.

Creative Labs makes a DTS Encoder for $99 USD, it works for me.
Would also need a CD recorder. Result is a 5.1 DTS CD.

How about getting an Oppo 980H to output the SACD as LPCM via HDMI? Any way to store/record that?

Isn't PCM audio via HDMI encrypted? Having lost patience with Sony pulling SACD support from the Euro PS3 i'm looking at the Oppo + amp with 5.1 input as a next system to enable me to keep my SACDs running and maybe track down any DVDAs I can find (I quite fancy getting some of the Talking Heads and REM ones if I can find them in the UK at a sensible price).

I've got DTS-CD backups of all of the entirely legitimate and legal SACDs i've bought in case I get stranded with a surround system that lacks SACD playback (sadly a real possibility on a budget, but Oppo look to be the wise man with little money's choice) but i'm not (cough) going to explain where they came from.
