First, great recorder. Good purchase.Now the bad news. There is no way you can "record" SACDs with it. There are literally a few, very expensive SACD players that output DSD via a very special optical connection, and a few via HDMi..
To " rip" SACDs, you need a specific model of Sony Playstation and associated software and a lot of patience.

is the only affordable way to extract the dsd disk layer as an ISO. You can then either play the ISO or extract dff and or dsf files and play those in your music server. Much has been written about how to do this over at Computer Audiophile and Audio Circle. I bought my used PS3 Sony Playstation from an ebay seller who understands what is needed to run it to rip SACD's. The unit cost under $400 shipped. For anyone interested in dsd audio, with a modest sacd collection and not computer phobic, it is a great thing to be able to do so you don't have to buy dsd downloads of music you already own.
Yes, I am well aware of the procedure, but thanks for providing more detail.
and others. cheers.
He is talking about recording SACDs from the SACD players analog output to the DA-3000's analog input. I think he wants to record them to 24/192. He can do that. He can record them to DSD as well.
Are you sure? That would be a massive waste of time. Better off ripping the cd.
This is inquisitive not argumentative: So you're saying for sound quality he'd be better ripping the redbook layer than recording the SACD layer via analog out to analog in and saving it as DSD or 24/192?
I'm not totally surprised but am a little. I'm also sure you probably have first hand experience where I do not.

If you like the sound of your SACD when played on your SACD player, I believe you will capture that sound exactly by recording the analog outputs of your SACD player using a TASCAM DA-3000. I have never tried it with a SACD, but I own the TASCAM DA-3000 and I have recorded vinyl at DSD(128) and it sounds identical to vinyl to me.
I know one thing; I like the sound of the DA-3000 for playing DSD recordings from a USB flash drive. I have a number of commercial DSD recordings and they sound awesome to me on my DA-3000, which I recently bought to replace my aging Alesis Masterlink.
Best regards,

Thanks John, I haven't tried recording in DSD yet, I don't think my Bryston BDP-2 will output it.
I use my DA-3000 for playing DSD files. I copy DSD files onto USB flash drives and plug them into my DA-3000.
I also have an Oppo BDP-105D that plays DSD(64) directly from USB flash drives. It will play DSD(128) from an external streaming source, but I normally use my DA-3000 instead.
Good luck,
John Elison
No worries. Yes, I you have it right. 3 additional stages of A/D/A conversion are worse than just ripping the redbook layer. You are converting the DSD layer to PCM, then putting it through conversion stages. Not a good thing from experience.
Thanks as always. Your response was what I expected and I understand but do not have first hand experience as you do.
