[SurroundSound] Re: PS3 SACD rips

The DFFs can be played back in Foobar too. As I mentioned, some
people are releasing DFFs, some people are releasing ISOs. I'm
wondering if there is a way to extract DFFs from an ISO post-authoring
(i.e. after it's left the PS3).

Unfortunately we're always going to be decoding the DSD (unless and
until a soundcard can take it directly as input and/or it can be
bitstreamed to a DSD receiver). But even if they appeared I think I
can live with the decoding and I'm not likely to upset my sound card &
receiver combo any time soon.
