Software to record 5.1 SACD

mpa · 23rd November 2020, 11:10 AM

Not sure if this is the correct forum section to ask in but here is my question:

I want to archive my SACD's onto a hard drive and have most of the solution as I have an Oppo 203 with Vanity HD card that gives me AES outs on all channels converted to PCM and an interface into my computer so I can get all channels into a recording software but this is where my knowledge ends!
What software would I need to record the 5.1 channels into a recognised file format for playback. I realise this will be a real time recording and I won't have separate tracks etc. but I don't know of any other way to rip an SACD? Any advice gratefully received!

Have you checked if OBS suites for you?

What soundcard with multiple AES inputs do you plan on using?

Some Oppo (and other) players, with additional software on a USB stick, allow an ISO
(or the stereo/multichannel DSD files) to be read off an SACD and written to
a computer on the same network.

I have owned a Lynx Aurora 16 for many years, great bit of kit!

Yes, I believe this was on an older model (103?) but AFAIK you can't do this with the 203 unfortunately.

OK, it seems that OBS will only record up to 48khz so unfortunately not an option as I want to keep the sample rate at 88.2khz which is what the Oppo will spit out when converting from DSD. Any other suggestions?

Thanks guys, I already have a multi channel record facility on my computer (tracks live) but I guess my question is what type of file format do I need to save these tracks as so that they will be recognised as 5.1 surround sound by the playback device and the channels get assigned correctly? This is the bit I don't understand!
