Turned out to be fairly painless. I have a few SACD box sets and at most a dozen or so single disk releases. The SACD discs sound noticeably better to my ears than redbook.
Anyway I had always planned to rip them for safety and convenience, and finally got a roundtuit. :)
Two free downloads needed, along with an SACD/Bluray player having the required chipset. I am using a very inexpensive sony DVD/SACD/BluRay player.
Download two items of software:
#1 is an "autoscript" (I believe java since the sony OS is java) that rips an SACD disc to a single .iso file.
#2 is a windoz program named "Iso2Dsd" (the download also contains a .jar file and "sacd_extract.exe) that will read an SACD iso file and rip the tracks to DSF.
Just copy the "autoscript" folder to a blank usb chip drive, insert into the USB port on the sony player (after setting a few simple configs on the player), power up, and the autoscript opens the tray. Insert the SACD, close the tray and wait for the script to rip the SACD and place the iso file on the usb chip.
Pull the chip from the player, insert into windoz machine, run the isoToDSD program, point it at the iso file, and go.
The Iso2DSD program (java so you need java installed) creates a subfolder under it's program files location, with the name of the SACD disc, and in that folder will be all the tracks in DFF format, which
Jriver bitperfectly streams to my FIIO F5 pro dac.
Done!

Follow Ups:
That's great.
Just a few points for general viewers.
1. You can install ISO2DSD in your WinPC's hard disc so that you don't need to swap it back and forth from the player.
2. You should consider extracting the files to .DSF because .DFF does not support metadata tags.
3. There are newer, more efficient and more flexible alternatives for this task. SACDExtractGUI improvement on ISO2DSD and Euflow's newer versions of sacd_extract
re:
#1: yes that is what I did. The autoscript I use that runs on the SACD player does not have any gui, nor configuration that I am aware of. It simply rips the SACD to an iso file onto the usb chip. So there is no way to get the resulting iso file into the computer for conversion to DFF except to physically move the usb drive that now contains the iso from the player to the pc.
#2: thanks that may be an option, I will check.
#3: I could never get the extract GUI that runs on windows to work with my player. Always "port 2022 is inaccessible", even after I temporarily disabled PC firewall. It may be my older SACD player is not compatible. Or perhaps my router - which I don't have login to (since I kicked the
ex-wife out) is blocking the needed port.
And I just went ahead and bought 7 more SACDs since I now have a backup method :)

Ah! I am guessing you are using an Autoscript that is different from what most people use and which puts the output on the USB drive. Makes it easy for some but not the most efficient method.
#2: thanks that may be an option, I will check.
If you have no GUI, you will have to edit the Autoscript to do that.

That's unfortunate.
Here us the question I have:
You rip your SACD to an iso file, then create a SACD-R, then play it on a player that allows that. Can that said SACD-R that is playing on said Blueray player, is the digital out still reduced to pcm or is a dsd signal streaming out?
I was just curious if anyone has checked it out.
I fail to understand why someone who rips the files to their PC chooses to play the subsequently burned physical discs rather than to play the files directly. In this situation, one is foregoing the convenience in storage, sorting, playlisting and metadata despite doing all the necessary work.
