Note: I ended up ripping all my SACDs to .dsf files (DSD) and feeding them as files through my streamer. I also have a McIntosh MCT500 SACD player that will feed my McIntosh DAC, but, I still prefer the convenience of using the streamer to pick any DSD (.dsf) song I want as a file. To do this, you need an older Sony Blu-ray player like a Sony BDP-S5100 3D Blu-ray Player that you can pickup on Ebay for under $50. This is what I use. Then, you put a few commands on a USB drive, plug the USB drive in the back of the Blu-ray player, load the SACD, and it will automatically rip DSD to the usb disk as a .dsf file. If you are interested, search the internet for the details for the commands, and the Sony machines that will work.
