Ripping multi-channel DSD to PCM

<< < (2/2)

What about a HDMI multi-channel audio adaptor? There are modeis on eBay that offer 24 bit 88.2KHz audio output in stereo and multi-channel from a SACD player that provides HDMI output

Are you suggesting recording SACD's in real time via an HDMI connection from SACD player to computer?  I personally wouldn't bother.  Seems too much like recording LP records onto cassettes in the 80s.  :)

Recording real-time?  Not really.  I have these multi-channel SACDs that I'd like to rip into my digital library.  I've got the stereo PCM layer ripped, but I'd also like to get a digital copy of the multi-channel layer, which is coded in DSD.  I understand that ripping the DSD layer directly isn't possible.  Is it possible to read the DSD layer, convert it to multi-channel PCM and then save those data?  I ask about the HDMI output because my Oppo universal player, I think, reads the DSD layer, recodes the multi-channel DSD data to multi-channel PCM and then sends that to an outboard DAC (in this case my processor).

This guy is working on a project to read/rip SACDs.  Unfortunately, his work has been slowed down by recently having a baby :)
