I use a cheap (what I picked up for $60 used) Sony BluRay player to rip SACDs and, in my case, the Windows iteration of the SACD extraction software listed at the link. Mac and Linux versions are also linked there.

Interesting, but I wonder ... - Feanor 04:25:57 05/29/24 (5)
My Sony BluRay plays SACDs but the output is PCM via HDMI; I'm not sure if it's hi-rez. I'd be fine with hi-rez PCM. I would need to "intercept" the HDMI output and route it do a Windows ripper program ... any suggestions on how to do that?

  This is one product that works as advertised. I added one to my system, and the Devialet Expert Pro 1000 processes the the DSD accordingly. Sounds excellent. Also works with the Chord TT and the PS Audio Direct Stream DAC.
  
  The PS Audio converts all incoming data streams to DSD.

  It can be HiRez but you need something to tell you, if you really care. You also need to define "hi-res."
  You can play from HDMI but you cannot rip from it. In order to rip the data from the SACD, you need to have one of the many suitable BDPs and access the data via USB or network.

      Several years ago I picked up two used Sony S590s for $60 each and have used them to rip SACDs. A number of other Sony players are capable, and so are some Pioneer, Oppo, and some other manufacturers' BluRay models that will work as well. At the time, I documented the ripping procedure in a memo as follows:
      
      Here's how I step-by-step rip SACDs on my S590s.
      
      Beginning the rip process from a cold start:
      
      1. Set the player to Quick Start mode. (And don't change it. You should have to do this only once if you leave your S590 connected in "standby" mode.)
      2. Use the remote to turn the player "ON". (The 590's own display screen should read "Home" or "Empty".)
      3. Insert the flash drive with the Autoscript folder in either of the player's USB slots. (I use the front slot for convenience.)
      4. After the disc tray opens, remove the flash drive from the USB slot.
      5. Insert an SACD you want to rip in the disc tray.
      6. Close the disc tray with the remote's green ON/OFF button. That puts the player to sleep.
      7. Open ISO2DSD (or SACDExtractGUI) on the computer that's on the network with the 590.
      8. Click "Execute" in ISO2DSD ("Run" in SACDExtractGUI).
      9. The program should begin the rip process and display the rip's progress for each track until the process for that SACD is announced as "DONE".
      10. Remove the SACD, opening the disc tray with the remote's "Open/Close" button.
      11. Insert the next SACD you want to rip, and close the tray with the remote's ON/OFF button.
      12. Click "Execute" in ISO2DSD (or "Run " in SACDExtract GUI).
      13. And so on until you finish all the rips for a given session.
      
      With the S590, you'll find that it will perform 7 rips before you have to reinitialize it with the Autoscript flash drive. Make sure that the player is "ON" before you insert the flash drive and follow steps 4 through 10 for each successive rip until you've completed another 7 rips. Reinitialize the player again if you have more SACDs to rip.
      
      While ISO2DSD will do the job, I prefer SACDExtractGUI for ease of use and configuration flexibility (e.g., the ability to designate where to put the ripped files on your computer). To use it, you must have Java loaded on your computer.
      
      HTH.

        Looks doable if a bit fussy. I hope to give it a try.
