You're correct in that there is not a good way to rip high resolution files from a SACD but hi-rez files can be easily ripped from DVD-Audio discs using DVD Audio Extractor. The only thing I'm not sure of is if there are any DVD-Audio players with digital outputs which support high resolution digital output. If not then I suggest that the Transporter's analog output when playing back a high resolution digital audio file be directly compared to the analog output of an SACD/DVD-Audio player playing back the same high resolution material sourced from a little sliver disc. I think that you'll be pleasantly surprised at the results. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88364
