I have just purchased one of those ps3 players and will be giving this thing a whirl in the coming weeks. My goal is to get my SACD collection on my NAS to be streamed from my Oppo BDP93.

My scarlet book in austin tx. About their rights and duties as citizen; and to encourage the youth to participate in the collective exercise of sovereignty of. Mar 31, 2014 - This one proved to be a valuable exercise in using Photoshop and I am looking forward to doing the next book cover. The next book on the list.
Or is the DSD still encrypted and therefore useless to the current foobar2000 plugin? Not sure, but I think you would have to rip the DSD using SACD ripper and then play it back using the foobar SACD/DSD plugin.
Be aware that most streaming of DSD normally involves some type of DSD to PCM conversion so the quality of the conversion is important to the results you hear. BTW, I was successful ripping my SACD's to ISO and then to FLAC but it is a huge undertaking of time for the entire process and quite an undertaking just to get the hardware and ripper software to work. I got a decent FLAC copy but it doesn't match the quality of the DSD shiny disc. Better than CD though. And when I say undertaking, you are looking at 1 hour + for each rip and huge hard drives for storage and manipulation.

I wasn't going to ask, but I was indeed curious how it went. =) I'm well aware that any such endeavor ('ripping' SACD) is going to happen in realtime, especially if i'm doing playback from a transport like the DV-79avi that can't be controlled by a PC.
At this point I need to do some more looking into programmatically capturing Firewire data (even code that captures DV/MPEG2 transport streams should get me enough traction to just speak to the port). If i can sniff anything over the wire with an SACD spinning, it'll be a start. Originally Posted by jeremya Thanks for the report.

Good luck with that. You will have to overcome the DTCP (5C Encryption) protection on the iLink connection. In order to get the player to start streaming you will have to successfully perform a DTCP handshake-look at the AVC SECURITY function. You will also need to look at the Audio & Music transport protocol, not necessarily MPEG2 TS. You will also need to implement an 1394TA Disc controller, which is no trivial task.
Enjoy subunit identifiers, subunit status descriptors, list descriptors, entry descriptors, and more. The good news is that devices like the pioneer implement a pretty dumbed down disc implementation. You will need: 1394TA Specifications AVC Disc Subunit General Specification 1.2 2002001 AVC Disc Media Specification - DVD 2000001 AVC Digital Interface Command Set General Specification Version 4.2 2004006 AVC Descriptor Mechanism 1.2 2002013 Audio and Music Data Transmission Protocol 2.1 2001024 DVDForum Specifications guideline1394V09R020011009c.pdf DTCP Specifications Good luck. The Pioneer 79 can be controlled by a computer once you implement a 1394TA Disc Subunit Controller. Hint: Step 1: Open and read the subuit identifier to get the sizeOfListID, sizeOfObjectID, sizeOfObjectPosition, the number of root lists and their ID's Step 2: Open and read the root contents list (list ID 0x3000 I think) list descriptor, read the number of object entries. Step 3: Read each object entry to get its object ID, name, title, duration, etc.
Step 4: Loop through each object entry Issue Configure, Set Plug Association, Security, Search, Play Capture and decrypt the A&M packets in real time Have fun.

Thanks, qz3fwd. Sounds like good reading for a rainy day.
=^) I really appreciate the leg up. Of course, given your apparent domain knowledge, if you can point to someone who has already implemented the hard bits, I'm all ears. No point in re-inventing the wheel apart from a learning exercise. Originally Posted by jeremya Thanks, qz3fwd. Sounds like good reading for a rainy day. =^) I really appreciate the leg up.

No point in re-inventing the wheel apart from a learning exercise. =) There are no publicly avaliable implementations which I am aware of in source form. This is due to the substantial specifications mentioned above. However you could take a lot of shortcuts and focus on: 1.
Isochronous streaming. Implement AVC SECURITY opcode 3. Implement AVC CONFIGURE, SET PLUG ASSOCIATION, PLAY opcodes using the info from AVC Disc Media Type Specification - SACD 1.2 2001016. I just got the 103 for DSD file playback from local storage or via SMB network. I haven't tested either yet due to time.
I tried previously streaming via foobar via DLNA and was unsuccessful on my 93. I don't know anyone who has successfully achieved streaming sacd iso wirelessly via foobar, and I am skeptical at best. The thing I'm baffled about though is that the current beta firmware for the 103/105 allows DSD file playback, but it apparently kills sacd-r playback?! One would have to have sacd iso's in order to rip their dsd files, so why kill the sacd-r playback feature?
My Oppo 93 and Sony 780 both play my sacd-r discs from my PS3 backup rips. Hopefully, Oppo will fix this issue in the next official fw release for the 103/105. I use my 93 for playing DVD concert iso's, BD iso's for concerts, and DVD-audio iso's for music. The 103 will be used for dsd file playback almost exclusively. Blu-ray movie playback on both my 93 and 103 is just an afterthought and bonus really. In short, both the Oppo 93 and 103 are really all about the music for me.

The Oppo doesn't play any type of ISO. Foobar can play an SACD ISO and output 24/88 LPCM via DNLA, but there's no way to send a DSD stream via DNLA. It also supports DSF files with the latest version of the SACD plugin. Foobar should also be capable of opening the SACD ISO and ripping the tracks to the format of your choice.

Remember they made ISO playback of certain media possible with the -93/-95 but then were forced to remove the capability due to pressure from the movie studios. DSD is a generic format like PCM but the SACD media is a Sony/Philips proprietary product so an ISO of an SACD could be problematic for OPPO. So I ripped my copy of Depeche Mode's 'Black Celebration' last night and converted the sacd iso to dsf and dff files using sacd extract. The thing that struck me right away was that dsf files were more than twice the size as the same dff file, so using the dff file as the medium seemed like the logical choice to the Oppo 103. I also ripped the sacd iso to multichannel flac using foobar and flac frontend for comparison. My results are mixed.
The dff file would not play in the Oppo. The dsf file played, but the rear channels were not playing properly. It was late, so I'll have to try another rip. The flac files played perfect for both my 93 and 103 via DLNA, and I could not tell the difference in sonic quality. I noticed a better sonic quality in the dsf file, but as I mentioned the rear channels were not playing all the sound if that makes sense. I could not get SMB working on my 103. I'm sure it's user error.
I can see the smb share through my iMac, and it prompts me for user and password. I enter my username and pw, but it says login error. I'll be doing more tests tonight.

Streaming SACD ISO's via foobar is POSSIBLE wireless or wired. Streaming SACD ISO's via foobar to an ISO capable Oppo 93/95 actually works very well. This allows playback of ALL SACD-R's including those that are non ScarletBook.
