Hi
Which formats are you looking to rip?
Dvd Audio, SACD or Blu-ray, etc?

DVD Audio is the most straight forward one to start with..imo.
Can then move on to SACD etc.

If you are needing pointers for DVD Audio, I personally prefer DVD Audio Extractor to rip with.
https://www.quadraphonicquad.com/forums/threads/converting-mch-discs-101-overview.22384/It may seem daunting at first, but plenty of folk here to walk you through the process, taking baby steps is what I advise.
Any questions fire away
Cheers
Mike

The sounds of ancient wind ensembles & the falsetto voice of countertenors might be an acquired taste, but Dominique Visse & Capella de la Torre give a beautiful performance this music from the early 1600s. The ambient surround mix sets off the polychoral effects nicely.

This is probably an inappropriate thread to post this extraordinary Amazon Prime 4 season "Event' but in terms of content and brilliant utilization of surround, I'm doing it anyway. And if you think it's all about Classical Music, think OTHERWISE. It deals with the struggles of genius and the manipulation of our cherished National Orchestras and the presentation, IMO, is extraordinary and SURPRISING with a BRILLIANT Revolving cast.

2003 was my introduction to surround sound. I bought a Denon 2900 universal player, Muddy Waters Folk Singer, Alison Krauss Live, AND Dr. Chesky's Maginificent Show. I was hooked, based on the sonics of the first two and the surround possibilities of the latter.
