[SurroundSound] Re: PS3 SACD rips

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?
