Puzzled - tried to search QQ and no dice on this one. Got some burned "SACD" discs that don't make sense to me. Burned ISO files once upon a time, labelled them and forgot about them for a few years at least. OPPO player says Unknown Disc, example of the layout is shown below.
The only relevant info from Google search on .MCH file extension (among a number of unrelated non-audio contexts) was this:
"Within the Super Audio CD (SACD) standard file structure, the .mch extension is assigned to multi-channel digital audio track container files ("TRACK001.mch," etc.) located in the "MC_AUDIO" directory. SACD is an advanced audio-only media format developed by Sony and Philips and based on the Direct Stream Digital (DSD) encoding. SACD disks contain both multi-channel (up to 6) and conventional stereo tracks (.2ch). Both .2ch and .mch files can be played by several multimedia players, like foobar2000 (with additional libraries)."
Does that make sense? What can I add to Foobar if anything to convert these files to FLACs? [already have SACD + DTS decoders, etc.] I searched Foobar and nothing comes up on MCH. Can I convert these with anything else or should I toss them - try to find in familiar formats?
