Almost all are PCM recordings that are available to download, and playback as DSD, 2x DSD and even 4x DSD.
Multi Ch is also available to download.
I almost never use my Sony 5400 anymore.

You wouldn't say that if you had a Modwrighted 5400:)

I would never use anything else until 5400es becomes unrepairable, absolutely no downloading or ripping for me.
Did you buy a backup laser assembly? $50 for a genuine Sony replacement...if you wait to long they will only be available aftermarket and those suck and are unreliable!
David
Likely you got lots of stuff I'd like.
No.
I wish I could get the Files off them with my Mac, tho, would be happy to share.
when the old firmware would let you rip them. :-(
I bought one a couple of years ago for this purpose but I just baought another about a month or so ago. Not a problem if you really want one.
Yup, my first one failed unrepairably recently after a few years of heavy ripping. I bought another from the same guy you did. So far, so good. I do have a second one still in use after a couple of years.
But, sooner or later, supplies will dry up. Those early machines with SACD and version 3.55 of the OS are not built all that well. Hopefully, we will see Mr. Wicked's purpose-built SACD ripper sometime in the near future. But, it seems he has taken on a difficult project to design and build it.
Yes, I am on-board with that new ripper project but the real reason for the 2nd PS3 (and I might buy another) is that I run the two in parallel to halve the time it will take me to finish (if I ever finish) ripping.
I bought mine in April of '08 for the SACD ability, but have never gotten into ripping. I've hardly used it for games, or ripping and I've only watched a few Blu-Rays on it, but mine still works well and has little hours on it.
Sometimes the processor loses its cooling ability and people fix them by reapplying the Artic compound, from what I've read.
What are used ones selling for, if mine is the 'good' version to have?
Thanks, Chris
The "launch" PS3 (60GB version, it should be the same with the 20GB one) and the slightly newer first version of 80GB (AFAIK there are late production 80GB PS3 consoles that can't play SACD) are the only one that have SACD capability. You also need to make sure the firmware is older than v3.55 such that you can install the hacked firmware and the SACD ripper app. And if you do have one of these be careful not to upgrade the firmware accidentally.
Mine has been hacked with the SACD ripper but I tried not to use it too often - the fan kicks into high gear ~5 min. into ripping! I guess it is time to reapply the cooling compound between the CPU and the fan.
