I finally got around to updating the firmware on my old PS3 and installing SACD-Ripper. It extracts the ISO file from the SACD inserted and copies it to an attached USB drive, which I can then load on the PC and extract individual songs and convert to flac. Takes a bit of mucking around but I now have rips of my SACDs in 24/88.2 on my NAS.

Currently I'm listening to Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy and it sounds lovely!

Has anybody else done this?

Now I'll be on the lookout for some more SACDs. :)

Unfortunately I have a PS3 Slim with bang up to date firmware so this is impossible for me. Have you come across any other methods for obtaining DSD files?
I am quite keen to play DSD over USB having just aquired the capability through the Amanero USB/I2S but can't get hold of any proper DSD files apart from the free samples on sites like 2L. I do have a few SACD's too but I retired my multiformat DVD player ages ago.
