Converting SACD ISOs to DSF - Best Practice

OK. I think Rovi/Roon’s database sources have a bit of a mixed bag of how they present SACD releases.

However, the majority of SACD that I have been matching only seem to show one set of tracks for the album. Presumably these are the stereo track lists. So, your listing example above may not work so well.

Here is an example from a SACD that definitely would have setero and MC tracks but only lists the stereo tracks for matching.


A few, definitely the minority, will show stereo and then 5.1 mixes like you have above. These IIRC come from DVDA and DC/DVD deluxe type sets rather than SACD.

example here. I don’t have the MC files in the same folder.

Sometimes these show up as Disc 1 and Disc 2. Maybe they come from from a single .iso or a double disc set. Hard to tell sometime if it wasn’t my rip or I cannot remember the rip exactly.

At the end of the day, for me, I had about 90-95% ID match across 20,000+ albums so I didn’t mind going in and fixing or matching examples like those above.

Hope that helps
