Could you elaborate?
It’s simpler than described in the first post. The Telnet thing is unnecessary.

The Pioneers are probably to best value if you’re just buying one for this purpose. For the price of the right OPPO you could buy several of the old PS3s. Firmware is currently not an issue but this could change.
Altogether a more elegant solution than the “traditional” PS3 route as you can get round the need to concatenate large ISOs due to the PS3’s FAT32 restriction.
so… is a Pioneer BDP-180 ok too?
(cheapest I can find: will only use it to rip SACDs)
thx
No, I think only 160 and 170. Look carefully in the thread above.
first post also mentions 180
reading whole thread :panic: now to see if it’s been reported, afterwards, as not working :nervous:
thx
Edit: ok, just found the answer: looks it doesn’t work 
I’ve been through the thread about a month ago, and nobody reported success with the 180.
The 180 is the replacement of the 170, meaning that the availability of the 170 can become an issue…
Availability of 170s is an issue 
only seen used ones there, plus… I don’t have an account (I’m in Italy)
there’s one on Amazon.it (but coming from Germany) for… 300+ € 
I was going to wade through and pick out the models that have been reported to work. The thread is so long and convoluted that it’s hard to pick up issues (such as the 180).

Wow good detective work!
Thank you very, very much for this information. I will try this when I get home on my Oppo 103. As Ludwig observed, it is simpler than that first post. Check it out:

Yes, it’s an excellent solution and very simple. I got it working on my Oppo BDP-103 in less than five minutes.
For semi-technical Mac people, who don’t want to install Java, the command line interface is simply and effective. I recommend copying the sacd_extract binary file to the directory where you want to store your SACD files. Then open a Terminal window, cd to that directory (eg. cd ~/Music/SACD) and use:
./sacd_extract -2 -s -c -i xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:2002
Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the local IP address of the Oppo (besides the Oppo remote app, you can also see the IP address by turning on your TV and going to the Settings->Network screen on the Oppo).
Note that the -2 option rips the stereo layer only. There’s another option for multi-channel. If you want to see what all the - options do, type:
./sacd_extract -?
BTW, I found the files to be exactly the same size as the PS3 rips. All the files are named correctly and each SACD gets ripped into a separate subfolder (though someone said beware multi-disc sets as they may overwrite?). Roon immediately recognized the files and identified them correctly.
(Though to improve the metadata for HF Player, I export the album back out of Roon and overwrite my original rip.)
Honestly, it’s way easier than ripping CDs with Exact Audio Copy!
So glad to finally have an elegant SACD ripping solution. I have 20 SACD discs on my amazon wishlist I can finally purchase!

I was able to order a used like-new Pioneer BDP-170 from Japan 5 days ago and received it today. It was $225. Then I spent $30 for a 120 to 100 volt step down power converter. The system was Japanese including the labels on the remote, but at least it was easy enough to change the system language to English and figure out the correct buttons on the remote. I was successfully ripping SACDs with it in less than an hour. So I can confirm the Japanese versions work just as well. There is a script that is tailored for the BDP-160 that worked for me. You can find it in the computer audiophile thread listed above.
I’m thrilled!
Just managed to bag a used Pioneer BDP-170 as a back up for my old PS3.
For those in the UK sometimes you get open box deals available on the Richer Sounds website, you just need to get lucky that the item is local to you as they won’t post these items.
Updated links as after CA reworked their site, as following:
