SACD vs DVD Audio

[pete321]

As this is BD player thread, you can also use players like the Oppo 105 to convert a playing SACD to 88.2khz PCM, output the digital signal via SPDIF to a suitable PC audio card and record. You end up with a 24bit 88.2khz FLAC or WAV file.

you can back up SACD to I tunes but only at standard cd quality

Unless you have a PS3 with old firmware, then you can rip the DSD layer, extract the individual tracks to dsf or dff files using sacd_extract & play them back via J.River to a DSD capable DAC, or convert to 24 bit PCM using Korg Audiogate.
