While it is true that SACD players will not output a digital signal
while playing the SACD layer and in fact the digital signal should
never leave the chipset. However some earlier players did employ a less
secure chipset and with modification I believe a rip was possible.

The music industry has paid attention. Major goals of SACD and DvD-A were:
1) make you buy the same ablums all over again
2) implement real

I got really excited about SACD and even DVD-A until I bought an MP3
player on impulse. I now have 3 players and have stopped buying DVD-As
and non-hybrid SACD's. The reason is obvious. I am not going to buy two
copies of the same music. And I am going to put any music I like on my
MP3 players.

I feel the pain of fellow Audiophiles that still pursue the digital

The music industry learnt from the De-CSS crack used to extract DVD's.
So far there has not been widespread (or any) cracking of the
encryption used on SACD/DVD-A.
These format were designed based on the assumption, that some day
someone would break them. They contain the ability for publishers
I've seen people who make DTS files out of SACDs and DVD-As - you have
to send the analog signal to a 6-channel soundcard and then use special
software to make a DTS wave file.
But the result is playable as a DTS CD and the Squeezebox can play them
back as wav or flac files. DTS is lossy but
Cheers, not what I wanted to hear but there you go.
It seems bizarre for the record industry to put such protection on.

DVD-A is continuing as Dolby True HD in Blu-ray/HD-DVD and you can get
the same quality with DTS HR Audio and better with DTS Mastering.
SACD is dying.
