Okay, my download of the SACD-R torrent is finished.
The only problem is, how to rip it, and in what format?
Your best bet is foobar2000 with the Super Audio CD Decoder plugin installed. As for format, the best is FLAC. But make sure that you rip at 176,4 kHz and downsample to 96 kHz. PM me if you have any questions.
Yeah, but how do I convert it to FLAC?
I already have foobar2000 but I don’t know how to convert it?
Step 1: drop the SACD-R .iso file in foobar.
Step 2: highlight all tracks.
Step 3: right-click on the highlighted tracks.
Step 4: from the right-click menu, go down to Convert, wait for a second menu and choose the option with three dots.
Step 5: in Converter Setup, click on Output format and choose FLAC.Yeah, but it only converts in 24-bit/44.1khz.
Press Ctrl+C on your keyboard for preferences, go to Tools, then click on SACD and you’ll see something called PCM Samplerate. Your best best is choosing 176.4 kHz and in Converter Setup, click on processing, choose the resampler DSP, click on Configure selected and set the target rate at 96 kHz.
