I thought all the early 2.0 SACD only Japan releases sold out decades ago... Turns out some of them resurfaced (from SONY's vault?) recently. Ex: Jaco Pastorius / Jaco Pastorius - [ESGA-501]Not many in this line of numbering: - Michael Jackson / Thriller [ESGA-503]
- Celine Dion / All The Way - A Decade Of Songs [ESGA-504]
- Gloria Estefan – Greatest Hits [ESGA-505]
- Jeff Beck / Blow By Blow [ESGA-506]
- Luther Vandross / Never Too Much [ESGA-508]
- Carole King / Tapestry [ESGA-509]
- Stevie Ray Vaughan / Couldn't Stand The Weather [ESGA-512]
- Wham! / Make It Big [ESGA-514]

I'm ripping the SACD right now to have it measured (foobar2000 1.5.3 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1). It's probably based on the same SONY 1999 SACD remaster that hit the CDs in 2000. http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/96977It would appear that the first CD release (1988 in Japan, 1991 rest of the world) had better dynamics. http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/57806Julien

Right now a few BD Players from last decade were using a particular chip from Mediatek (MT8580 and MT8550). These are the current device list (taken from this post on audiophilestyle.com): Sony brand compatible Blu-ray players:BDP-S390/BX39 BDP-S490 BDP-S590/BX59 BDP-S4100 BDP-S5100/BX510 BDP-S790 BDP-S6200/BX620 BDP-S720 Pioneer brand compatible Blu-ray players:BDP-80FD BDP-160 BDP-170 Oppo brand compatible Blu-ray players:BDP-103 and 103D BDP-105 and 105D Cambridge brand compatible Blu-ray players:Azur 752BD CXU Arcam brand compatible Blu-ray & CD/SACD players:FMJ UDP411 FMJ CDS27 Primare brand compatible Blu-ray player:BD32 MkII Electrocompaniet brand compatible Blu-ray player:EMP3 Then follow the steps here based on your player. https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/28569-sacd-ripping-using-an-oppo-or-pioneer-yes-its-true/I make backup copies of all my SACDs and put them on a USB drive that I can plug to my OPPO and read directly. Only drawback is that the OPPO will insert a gap (red book-compliant) between tracks even we you are playing contiguous tracks. It's the "gapless" DSD replay function that has been long requested by OPPO player owners. Attachment:

If I'm lazy I just play them from my laptop over wifi (I know it gets resampled down in that case) over uPnP from foobar2000 w/ the SACD plugin to my OPPO. Attachment:

As I said, it's only when I'm lazy or just to play in the background when I have guests and the quality is not an issue. Otherwise, by order of preference: 1/ Play the SACD (as in the physical disc): no gaps on live music, multi-channel available 2/ Play the SACD rip on a drive via USB: gaps on live music, multi-channel still available 3/ Play the down-sampled audio via uPnp for convenience. I can drag'n'drop a few hours of music ahead, no need to keep swapping discs or choosing the next album folder to play, but no multi-channel. Julien
