Re: [SurroundSound] Re: PS3 SACD rips

Its a full rip of the SACD data.  That said, there seems to be either a) something (header or flag) that doesn't make it across and the average player doesn't recognize it as a SACD (seems a disc swap would work in these cases were it posible)... or b) the player won't recognize a burned disc as an SACD.

And yes... while some consider it a "lesser quality" rip.  You can in deed transcode it to flac in foobar...

So are you trying to say you could Foobar these into 6 channel wav or
flac files and make a DVD-A or whatever multichannel format you
wished, and that could be playable on a home system?

I see no purpose in listening to multi-channel sound on a pc through
crummy little speakers.

Interseting however that there are multiple SACD formats. I was not
aware that an SACD-R differs from a commercial SACD considering it is
an ISO image and purly data. Is the header different when burned to a
DVD as a back up of the SACD format?
