ISO SACD Playback

I want my DXD in MQA.

Ah, yes. Now, I see it. Still, I think their use of the term “DSD Master” requires a qualifier.

absolutely.

in any case, the SACD would have been made from an analog master (tape, one assumes), and in the HDTracks case, a DSD master from vinyl.

and then to DXD and back to DSD. IMO the playback format/medium is meaningful, no matter the source, hence why we sometimes enjoy listening to LPs that were recorded digitally.

Please Could you tell me how long it takes a normal sacd conversion?
If I have 3tb in iso files, may I just to set the whole conversion of all files or shall I go one by one? Thanks

I heard Esoteric upsamples whatever digital file the record company gives them, most often 48/24 - anyone heard the same?

About 5 mins per disc to rip from SACD to dsf on my oppo. if you have an ISO already should be way faster than that.

With Sonore ISO2DSD it takes less than 30 seconds to extract the .dsf files from the SACD ISO.
