Time to rip high-def and multi-channel
It took us a looong time, but we finally set up an internal LAN and got a grip on using JRiver MC28 for Mac to rip our redbook CDs and send .flac from our storage device -- which is presently [and temporarily] our MacBook Pro -- to our Oppo 105D player...and it sounds great coming from our McIntosh separates and out of our B&Ws. :D
Naturally, this leads me to the next step: multichannel (MC) audio and high-definition (HD) audio. I know there are other discussions that touch on this subject, but software is a constantly evolving thing, so I'm looking for the latest developments in ripping audio from ones own HD and MC sources: SACD stereo, SACD MC, DVD-A and BD-A. As I mentioned before, we own an Oppo 105D, so I'm thinking that it will assist us with this, but perhaps it's better to start, once again, with getting the proper software for the next chapter in going digital? As I'm admittedly fairly new to ripping and storing audio files, I'd appreciate any thoughts on using what we have -- and what we'll need -- to add HD and MC files to our music library. :music: |

SACD (MC and stereo)- Any of these will work with the 105. https://github.com/setmind/SACDExtractGUIDVD-A- Any of these will work with an attached DVD drive (not any Oppo) DVD Audio ExtractorBD-A- You need a directly attached BD drive (not any Oppo) MakeMKV to remove copy protection |
How does the Oppo fit into the puzzle?

Okay, so after going through the list, I understand that DVD-A and BD-A audio files are extracted via an attached [and purpose appropriate] external drive...but the rookie question I now have is: How does the Oppo 105D "fit" into a ripping system? As our MacBook Pro (MBP) will host the software, I'm assuming that it's a matter of running a USB cable between the MBP and the Oppo 105D? I've used the USB port on the front of our 105D as an input for .flac files, via a USB thumb drive, but I've never used any of its USB ports to output anything. To clarify, as an output device, I've used the Oppo as a DAC to pass analog, via its multichannel RCA outputs, to our AVP. I've never used the 105D to output any other kind of signal. :scratch2: Thanks again |

The USB thumb drive used on an OPPO 103/105 is there to tell the OPPO to read the SACDS and send the data via Ethernet to the host computer running the Iso2DSD software. The thumb drive is the magic that ‘breaks’ the copy protection.
