You can of course move each SACD rip wherever you want once it's been completed. The key here is that you can put sacd-extract wherever you want, but wherever that is, that's where your SACD rips will be too. In those instructions, what you're doing is launching the Terminal, and then telling the Terminal to look where the sacd_extract app is - that's the "cd ~/Music/SACD" command. However, if you won't install Java, then you have to use the sacd_extract command-line (Terminal) app, and has given very good instructions on that. They've become referred to (not by me) as the "simple" instructions because the ISO2DSD Java app uses a graphical user interface, which is easier to operate than the command-line interface of sacd_extract. I'm the one who wrote the "simpler" Mac instructions. It's my general understanding that imprecise Terminal commands can cause damage.Ģ013 iMac MacOS Sierra, Airport Extreme hardwired, Oppo 103. If I'm to do these, I need to know EXACT text to input, and EXACT ways to input them. Which apparently steers me to creating Terminal commands, another unfamiliar arena for me. I may be complicating things by refusing to install Java, but that won't change. In 3 decades I've never programmed anything, no Applescripts, no nothing. EXACTLY how do you manage that sacd_extract? Even if this entails basic programming which most users (esp on CA) take for granted, it's unclear to me. There is some sort of programming detail which is glossed over in every instruction. If I've got that right, everything is clear except 3, 4, and 7. Somehow(?) access the sacd_extract file and enable it to rip. Boot Oppo, adjust settings, connect to network.ħ. Identify and/or enable the sacd_extract file by some method of programming(?)ĥ. The 3rd one is a "sacd_extract" file, which is placed. Two of them are Autoscripts which are dragged to a USB stick.ģ. I believe the process, in the plainest terms, is like this:Ģ. It has been suggested that the CA instructions include unnecessary steps, FWIW. That said, I found this Roon thread that discusses a workaround see the post by "muski": SACD ripping with Oppo or Pioneer My unique(?) situation is that I uninstalled Java some years ago, and I will not re-install. Therein it's evident that Java is required in some fashion. This is what I believe to be the most recent "simplest Mac" post: SACD Ripping using an Oppo or Pioneer? Yes, it's true! Like others, I've poured over the oft-linked thread at Computer Audiophile. Here is an account of my failed attempt there: Anyone tried this SACD Ripping service? Apparently, the SACD Ripping Service thread is not the place for this, so here's a fresh one.
