Question for the SACD experts: is there some rule that the volume of an SACD can never exceed -20 dB? I've ripped about 5 discs now and none of them pass that threshold. I just happened to notice that and thought it was interesting.
Also, I have one disc that keeps crashing the sacd_extract program: Blue Oyster Cult's Agents Of Fortune. Anyone else have problems with that one?
I'm using the same Sony player, but had no problems with the LAGQ, but there was another title (sorry don't remember) that did a similar thing in slowing to a crawl the further along it went. Thought something went wrong with my network; but put the next disc in and it was transferring in the typical speed of I believe ~3.37 Mpbs.I just ripped Agents of Fortune (2001) and it worked fine for me. It was in my collection but hadn't ripped it yet. I checked it on my Oppo205 and it played back terrific. I don't have a means to measure the volume limits (need some instructions I guess).
I had only one problem disk that I can remember -- LAGQ Spin. It would start slowing it's transfer speed about 1/2 way into the rip and continue to get slower, and slower, and slower....never finished. I need to try it again.
Note that I'm using -- Sony S5100, iMac 10.13.6 High Sierra, java 8 update 201, Ethernet, SACDextract-MACOS-V0.3.9, QNAP NAS.

Haven't heard any of that yet, but I haven't tried ripping any of the Japanese 7" SACDs. I've still got to break into "The Jeff Beck Group", but as soon as I do (Hopefully soon!) I'll try ripping it and report backOkay, here's a weird issue. I swear I'm not making this up. I've ripped two Sony Japan titles (Bitches Brew and Beck, Bogert & Appice) and the ripped files from both have this horrible high frequency tone in the background. It sounds almost like the television color bar tone. Has anyone else experienced this or am I losing my mind? My rips from US Sony and DV titles have no issues whatsoever.

I assume you've tried other SACDs to make sure It's not something else in your equipment chain? Also, I don't have those same SACDs as yours!Thanks for checking it out. I'm using the exact same combo as you: S5100 player with The SACD_Extract GUI. Same settings too. Maybe I need to update the GUI? It's the weirdest issue...the files play perfectly, but with a high-pitched hum. For now I'm ripping everything else and leaving my five Sony Japan discs for last.

Almost sounds like some sort of interference problem, like a cable gone bad or something?Thanks for checking it out. I'm using the exact same combo as you: S5100 player with The SACD_Extract GUI.

Guess we need some other folks here, to weigh in that have the same discs!Almost sounds like some sort of interference problem, like a cable gone bad or something?
