(*) in order to get a Iso image from a SACD, you need a player compatible with a software tool. Here's some info:
Good but note that there are other players that are capable of this function including Oppo and Pioneer.
Note, too, that there are many tools in addition to foobar2000 that will do the conversions.
If the OP will search this forum or, for greater depth, www.audiophilestyle.com he may find these additional options and more.

What's the best solution for doing this? Which player is the easiest to find and has a reasonable cost? thx
Hi
From experience, I would say the Sony Players are the more plentiful and cost effective.
I used eBay to find my Sony S4100.

But depending on where you live, you may have access to other for sale sites.

Obviously the condition is important as it needs to give you confidence that it will perform what's required.

I started a thread using my experience along with a fellow QQ'r 'Pupster's, to try to give easy to follow instructions as to what's required.

absolutely, follow beers thread it is excellent I found a sony 5100 on ebay for like 60.00 us and his instruction thread works flawlessly for SACD conversion, for DVDA I rip to iso with dvdfab or other and convert to flac with foo,
Great to read that you have had success with the ripping process, using the thread.

It can be daunting for folk to approach and use this technique, if they have never done anything like this before, It certainly was for me.

Hi Rik
Sorry again to read about your health issues.
Your Oppo 103's will work, the 203 will not I'm afraid.
You need to have the correct autoscripts to use the thread I set up.
They are from this site:

https://hifihaven.org/index.php?threads/rip-sacd-with-a-blu-ray-player.3652/page-2
If you have any problems let us know and the folk here will provide all the help they can.
Alternatively you could reach out to the moderator over at HIFi Haven ...a very helpful chap called Mickey Fresh .
Best Wishes
Mike

Hello Rik,

I think it would be helpful to understand your computer capabilities also, like PC or Mac Operating system, wired network access etc...
Also do you have large hard drive space for the resulting ripped files, because it may take Terabytes of storage depending on your collection size.

One of the better software rippers for DVD-A is the "DVD Audio Extractor" on this web page!
It includes an online database for filling in the meta-data for many titles and is pretty easy to use.
It does have a cost of about $39 I believe, after a 30 day trial period. But if you have lots of DVD-As it would be well worth it.

Also I use Foobar2000 quite a bit for various projects, but it can be somewhat difficult to set up. But it is free and will convert many formats to wav. or flac files.

DTS, sometimes can be a little booger (depending on title.)
Don't know if you have any Blu-ray titles, but other software that has ripping value are:
MakeMKV and AudioMuxer however they take a little more time and effort to use.

It might go easier to take one thing at a time like DVD-Audios and worry about the SACDs later when you have more experience with the file work. That's what I did. The SACD rips can be difficult to set up at first, but once you have all the settings right, it can actually be one of the easier ripping processes of any of them.

I will reiterate @dr. simple's suggestion to read up a little more (especially the first page) of @HomerJAU's excellent thread that goes into greater detail on many of these issues HERE!

Hope that helps some, any other questions just let the questions fly, and I'm sure someone here will help out.

Keep on truckin' pardner 🤠

Where in CT are you? I am in New Milford most weekends.
 
I wonder if there’s a Amazon Alexia or equivalent Voice Controll interface for a media player that would allow vision impaired users to select an album or song to play? Especially if it could play your surround music.

There maybe something for Kodi. I’ll check.

Anyone here with knowledge or experience?
