I used a program called lossless extract to create mch files on a thumb drive using my oppo 205. I am not sure how I can now move those files into roon. I am very used to ripping with db power amp and have ripped many cd’s. But now I just have a list of mch files which were extracted from my SACD and not sure how the process would work from there to get the files into a playable format in my roon library.
Wich is your exit in your riiping process? If it is a ISO image, yo must convert this ISO into a separate DSF files, and import it to our library. It you have DSF or DFF files import it direcly. I really love DSD sound.
iso2dsd_PC_v7 is what I use to rip sacds and convert .iso to .dsf/.dff
This is no DSD output format I know. Looks somehow like raw scrambled extraction, so not DSF.
Can you show us the top most folder/file that contains the stereo and mch folders? Is it an ISO?
Do you have other extraction options with your tool?
I suspect you haven’t completed the steps to “extract” the files after the ISO has been created during the SACD disc ripping process.
You my want to review the Lossless Extract instructions (scroll down to the SACD section) to see how to complete the process.
You are sending the music stream to the Marantz using RAAT (Roon Ready). It is likely that this transport only supports two channel audio (This is true of the vast majority of network enabled AV Receivers and Amplifiers - including all HEOS devices). This is why Roon is defaulting to a two channel setup and probably not letting you change it. Roon is limited by the capabilities of the endpoint device with respect to the chosen server to endpoint transport.
If you wish to achieve a multichannel transport, you will have to connect your Marantz AV10 to your Roon Server machine using HDMI. You should, then, be able to configure the HDMI endpoint zone to use a 5.1 channel setup.
Alternatively, if your Roon Server machine does not have HDMI or is too far removed from your Marantz to be able to use it, there are a very few network players that support 8 channel RAAT transports. The Eversolo series starting with the DMP-A6 come to mind (from memory of other reports on these forums).
You also extracted the files to 176.4khz pcm instead of DSD.
Keep in mind, sending native DSD streams via HDMI to your AVR is possible but by no means directly from a device running roon server or ROCK. You’d need to enable DSD to PCM conversion in roon here.
But as said before, there are a few devices like the DMP-A6 accepting multichannel PCM and DSD via RAAT/Ethernet, sending these natively to AVRs via HDMI.
Hi mate. How do you like that app. It looks good to me…love the idea of being able to extract BluRay as well as SACD files.
Also what disc drive do you recommend to get the BR files onto the computer. I use a Mac
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with that app. I only became aware of its existence when the OP posted this thread. I’ve only used MakeMKV for BRs.
Regarding BD drives, For BR discs I use a Pioneer BDR-XD05B external USB drive that I bought in 2018.
Many thanks mate!
For SACDs I use Sonore ISO2DSD (with my Oppo 103 player).
You don’t state if you are a MAC or PC user. If a MAC user there is excellent software supported for “jail breaking” and extraction so that one can convert to AIFF or Flac. My preference is AIFF.
There is a dedicated FB OPPO group you can check out where there is a very active discussion I initiated a week or 2 ago.
Good luck!
I have the same problem with the Roon Ready firmware on my AV 10. A bummer that the firmware only supports 2 channels on a 21 channel processor. :-\
