Latest version-commit: 0.3.9.3-117-g96084fff27fc91142460e5cc32b7ececdb72d048
fixed the macOS 14.4/14.5 Sonoma incompatibility. The sacd_extract terminates & exit with message:
Failed to connect /libsacdread: Can’t open x.x.x.x:2002 for reading. The cause was the odd behaviour of iconv (found in new libiconv of Sonoma 14.4/14.5) which result in malformed address used for newtork connection. This wasn’t a bug in sacd_extract !!;
fixed bug of unrecognized long option `—select-track’ (the missing long option was enherited from the master fork). The short version -t option was not affected;
fixed bug at printing the Album Catalog Number (was printing wrongly the Disc Catalog Number instead of Album Catalog Number). The metada from XML generated file is not affected by this bug;
fixed a logging bug (in the case of folder creation error when a buffer output_dir is freed to early).

SACD Ripper/Extract Usage Instructions
From version 0.3.6 and upwards SACD Ripper has two modes of operation:
Daemon mode (selected by default if you don’t make a selection within 5 seconds after booting SACD Ripper).
ISO extraction mode (the previous versions of SACD Ripper allowed you to extract DSDIFF, DSF directly, but this feature has been removed in favor of local extraction using SACD Extract).
SACD Extract (available on Windows, Linux, OS X) allows you to extract individual tracks from ISO files when operated in file mode or from the SACD Ripper when operated in Daemon mode.
The following options are available for the sacd_extract commandline tool:
Usage: sacd_extract [options] [outfile]
-2, —2ch-tracks : Export two channel tracks (default)
-m, —mch-tracks : Export multi-channel tracks
-e, —output-dsdiff-em : output as Philips DSDIFF (Edit Master) file
-p, —output-dsdiff : output as Philips DSDIFF file
-s, —output-dsf : output as Sony DSF file
-I, —output-iso : output as RAW ISO
-c, —convert-dst : convert DST to DSD
-C, —export-cue : Export a CUE Sheet
-i, —input[=FILE] : set source and determine if «iso» image,
device or server (ex. -i192.168.1.10:2002)
-P, —print : display disc and track information
Help options:
-?, —help : Show this help message
—usage : Display brief usage message
Usage examples
Extract all stereo tracks to multiple DSDIFF files and convert all DST to DSD:
$ sacd_extract -2 -p -c -i»Foo_Bar_RIP.ISO»
Extract all multi channel tracks from the given ISO to multiple DSF files and convert all DST to DSD:
$ sacd_extract -2 -s -i»Foo_Bar_RIP.ISO»
Extract a single DSDIFF/DSD Multi-Channel Edit Master track from the given ISO and convert all DST to DSD:
$ sacd_extract -m -e -c -i»Foo_Bar_RIP.ISO»
Extract a single ISO file from the SACD Ripper Daemon (IP address and Port is displayed on startup). You can use SACD Extract again on the ISO file to extract the DSD data (see the three examples above):
$ sacd_extract -I -i192.168.1.10:2002
Extract all multi channel tracks from the SACD Ripper Daemon (IP address and Port is displayed on startup) to multiple DSDIFF files and keep the DST format:
$ sacd_extract -m -p -i192.168.1.10:2002
Generate a sacd_log.txt file that contains the ISRC codes which should/could be used for ISO verification:
$ sacd_extract -P -i192.168.1.10:2002 >sacd_log.txt

SACD Ripper PS3 installation
There are three main steps to install the PS3 SACD Ripper:
- Install a custom firmware (see instructions below) that allows patching
and the installation of custom applications. - Download or Compile the sacd-ripper.pkg file and install this on your PS3
- Download the PS3 keys and use this on first time installation (see
instructions below)
Custom Firmware Installation
Make sure you have a PS3 model with SACD compatible player. For more information
on what model specifically go to: http://ps3sacd.com/faq.html#_Toc180147566
You need to install a custom firmware to be able to rip SACDs. At this time of
writing installing custom PS3 firmware isn’t possible for firmware 3.56 and upwards.
So in order to install the correct firmware you’ll have to make sure your firmware
is lower or equal to 3.55. A downgrade for a firmware higher than 3.55 is NOT
available.
The custom firmware that is needed must be 3.55 and should allow patching. Most
custom firmwares like Kmeaw, Rebug, etc.. all facilitate this. Google for
«kmeaw cfw» and you’ll find several download links.
Custom Firmware installation steps:
- Plug a USB stick into your computer
- Copy the custom firmware file that you downloaded to a USB memory
stick as /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP. - Plug the USB stick into your PS3
- Navigate to Settings Tab
- Choose System Update
- Choose Update via Storage Media
- It will say it found Version 3.55
- Choose OK
- Accept Conditions and Follow the instructions
If the steps above did not work for you, then you are probably on 3.55 already.
You will have to do a recovery menu mode installation:
- Plug a USB stick into your computer
- Copy the custom firmware file that you downloaded to a USB memory
stick as /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP. - Plug the USB stick into your PS3
- Power down the PS3 through the menu
- Now press and HOLD the power button, the system will startup and shutdown
again - Release the power button, then press & HOLD power again, you’ll hear one
beep followed by two consecutive beeps - Release power then follow the on-screen instructions. You’re now in the
recovery menu - Connect the USB device and select «System Update.»
- Accept Conditions and Follow the instructions
SACD Ripper Installation Instructions
Now you’ve completed the firmware upgrade you are ready to install
sacd-ripper.pkg. You may compile the sacd-ripper.pkg or you can use your
Google skills to find a pre-compiled package. (no, I will not distribute
the sacd-ripper.pkg as that could potentially give me legal issues).
In order for the PS3 BluRay player to authenticate the SACD disc and to decode
DST to DSD two SPU isoself modules will be extracted from the system. In order
to do so you must give the SACD-Ripper the PS3 keys so it can extract them
automatically.
Get the PS3 keys from https://github.com/Mamdooh/PS3keys and put these in the
root of an USB disc. They will be asked for during first time installation,
after that you can remove the keys from your USB disc.
SACD Ripper Build Instructions
To compile you will need the psl1ght suite. If you want to compile on a windows
environment I advice you to follow the CygWin installation as the MingW
installation is unstable.
When psl1ght has been properly setup you need to configure SACD-Ripper with the
following commands:
git clone https://github.com/sacd-ripper/sacd-ripper.git cd sacd-ripper sh configure make
SACD-Ripper should compile without errors and warnings. Once completed you
should have the sacd-ripper.pkg package that can be installed on your PS3.
SACD Extract Build Instructions
First you need to install the latest version of cmake: http://www.cmake.org/
Now you can configure SACD extract using a «cmake .» followed by a «make»
command or when you don’t like the command line you can generate
project files for your favorite GUI (XCode, MSVC, etc..).
On Windows you need pthread support and libiconv. Pthread support for windows
can be downloaded from: http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/
And to compile libiconv on windows you can do the following:
- Open the Visual Studio Command prompt
- Change directory to libslibiconv
- run: «nmake -f Makefile.msvc NO_NLS=1»
- now you can compile using the MSVC project file
On Linux the program currently builds only in root’s home directory.
You do not need to manually build the libiconv program. There is no
installation step available yet, so you will need to copy the program
to a directory in your PATH, such as /usr/local/bin on most Linux
installations. To compile on Linux use a sequence like this:
sudo su - [Enter password if needed] cd /root git clone https://github.com/sacd-ripper/sacd-ripper.git cd sacd-ripper/tools/sacd_extract/ cmake . make cp sacd_extract /usr/local/bin/
SACD Ripper/Extract Usage Instructions
From version 0.3.6 and upwards SACD Ripper has two modes of operation:
- Daemon mode (selected by default if you don’t make a selection within 5
seconds after booting SACD Ripper). - ISO extraction mode (the previous versions of SACD Ripper allowed you to
extract DSDIFF, DSF directly, but this feature has been removed in favor
of local extraction using SACD Extract).
SACD Extract (available on Windows, Linux, OS X) allows you to extract
individual tracks from ISO files when operated in file mode or from the SACD
Ripper when operated in Daemon mode.
The following options are available for the sacd_extract commandline tool:
Usage: sacd_extract [options] [outfile]
-2, --2ch-tracks : Export two channel tracks (default)
-m, --mch-tracks : Export multi-channel tracks
-e, --output-dsdiff-em : output as Philips DSDIFF (Edit Master) file
-p, --output-dsdiff : output as Philips DSDIFF file
-s, --output-dsf : output as Sony DSF file
-I, --output-iso : output as RAW ISO
-c, --convert-dst : convert DST to DSD
-C, --export-cue : Export a CUE Sheet
-i, --input[=FILE] : set source and determine if "iso" image,

-P, --print : display disc and track information
Help options:
-?, --help : Show this help message
--usage : Display brief usage message
Usage examples
Extract all stereo tracks to multiple DSDIFF files and convert all DST to DSD:
$ sacd_extract -2 -p -c -i"Foo_Bar_RIP.ISO"
Extract all multi channel tracks from the given ISO to multiple DSF files and
convert all DST to DSD:
$ sacd_extract -2 -s -i"Foo_Bar_RIP.ISO"
Extract a single DSDIFF/DSD Multi-Channel Edit Master track from the given ISO
and convert all DST to DSD:
$ sacd_extract -m -e -c -i"Foo_Bar_RIP.ISO"
Extract a single ISO file from the SACD Ripper Daemon (IP address and Port is
displayed on startup). You can use SACD Extract again on the ISO file to extract
the DSD data (see the three examples above):
$ sacd_extract -I -i192.168.1.10:2002
Extract all multi channel tracks from the SACD Ripper Daemon (IP address and
Port is displayed on startup) to multiple DSDIFF files and keep the DST format:
$ sacd_extract -m -p -i192.168.1.10:2002
Generate a sacd_log.txt file that contains the ISRC codes which should/could
be used for ISO verification:
$ sacd_extract -P -i192.168.1.10:2002 >sacd_log.txt

sacd_extract is a common universal codec. It retrieves audio content and text metadata from SACD optical disk (Super Audio CD ripping) or SACD ISO files. The codec is command line software without a graphical user interface.
AuI ConverteR software:
- provides Graphical User Interface (GUI) for sacd_extract.
- solves some sacd_extract issues via manipulation of its input and output data. Read details below.
- allows configuring custom command line with templates like other codecs.
sacd_extract capabilities
- Ripping of SACD optical disk to DSD files (.iso, .dsf, .dff).*
- Ripping of SACD ISO file (file with .iso extension, that contains SACD optical disk content) to .dsf and .dff files.
* To access to SACD optical disk, sacd_extract requires connecting with special hardware. Read more…
sacd_extract is a command-line utility and it’s managed via parameters of command line.
Ripping settings
Ripping settings are managed via command line parameters of sacd_extract:
- source [network or .iso file],
- target format [.dsf /.dff /.iso, stereo/multichannel album variant],
- etc.
See details in command line parameters.

Audible clicks
When the target format is a DSF file, audible clicks or pops are possible.
Sacd_extract’s programmers promise that the issue is solved in certain software versions.
But, the author would recommend controlling it for the available .iso files for better sureness.
See, how to avoid the clicks…
Output file cannot be created
Sometimes, the codec can’t create output files due to operating system requirements.
Read how it’s solved…
