Anyone what? There are now two different subjects going on here.
Ripping SACDs (in order to get ISOs and ultimately DSF files off SACD discs) is a different issue than the OP's, which is having an already-ripped ISO (dunno where he got it, but if he's savvy enough to rip it via a PS3 hack then he should know the next steps).
1) ripping SACDs requires an older out of production PS3 and firmware hacks. I wrote the guide on it (literally).
2) the above process produces an ISO image. Although SACD ISOs can be played back on some software players the best solution (especially if the user is like the OP and needs FLAC conversion) is to extract DSD tracks from the ISO. This requires a program called sacd_extract, which has been embedded in some GUIs like Jesus's ISO2DSD (free, as mentioned above). Make sure you use the latest v38 of sacd_extract in order to get bug-free DSF files.
3) Once you have DSF files then find DSD to PCm conversion (a lossy process) tools to get to some sample rate comaptible with your PCM dac. Players like JRiver can do this, for example.
ted, I have not ripped any of my SACDs yet, but can get my hands on the PS3 needed and am trying to identify what I will need to make the rips of my owned SACDs playable on the playback software I am using. It is not JRiver.
As the Tax software offers a free trial why do you not just download it and see? OK it only allows 3 extractions/conversions but that should be enough for you to decide if you want to go further. Of course this depends om your having SACD ISO files to begin wth, but you say you can arrange that. Alternatively there is sacd_extract as suggested by Ted also with a free trial.
You say not JRiver for the final DSD/FLAC conversion as it doesn't suit the playback doftware you are using. It may help others solve your difficulty if you identified that software.
SACD ISOs are the results of PS3 ripping, so Trax or anything else will not create SACD ISOS, only a hacked early PS3 (or a Pyramix or Sonoma professional setup). The only other way to obtain SACD ISOs is online (pirate sites or trading with folks; Penatatone was selling their stuff in ISO format but not sure anymore).
And sacd_extract does not require a free trial, etc. It is freeware created by Mr Wicked. All these other GUI front ends, etc that charge money are just taking sacd_extract (a command line application) and making it more friendly (and adding PCM conversion tools, in some cases). But there are free GUI front ends too, like Sonore's ISO2DSD or Bogi's ISO2DSF tools.
