![]() The metadata within the ISOs is all over the place and really unuseable:ĭepending on the origin of the SACD. I have been dealing with the tagging issue for classical music for many years. ![]() The users will be the ones that need to convert the ISOs to a DSF structure that roon can handle, which is no easy task given the ultra primitive conversion tools available today. So it’s a bloody conundrum and I truly don’t know which path would be easier for roon and the users. But that is a two edged sword as something like sidecar tagging is needed to store the metadata outside the ISO. ![]() The other option for roon of course would be reading the ISOs directly, then everything would be one place and the metadata of the SACD embedded in the ISO (which is quite extensive and contains unique identifiers to the SACD) would be available as well for identification. So that can be handled - as long as the DSF files of one SACD sit in one directory and the tracks are correctly numbered. And if the DSFs are in the right sequence it could also tell from the metadata where in the sequence the multichannel tracks start. Roon could definitely tell from the DSF itself whether it is stereo or multichannel. All conversion tools I know of are based on sacd_extract.exe and convert stereo and multichannel in two separate batches and the DSFs end up in two separate directories, which is a bummer. Once I start converting them to DSF, the problems start. That’s exactly where the issue is buried. The main issue with the conversion is that all the ISO to DSF tools that I am aware of convert either the stereo or the multichannel tracks during a batch, but not both. I am asking, because I am looking at different ways to convert my >1’000 SACD ISOs to DSF and depending on how this needs to be done it is a larger or smaller effort. In order for roon to do something sensible with SACD content in DSF format, I would assume that the DSFs for both stereo and multichannel tracks would need to sit in the same directory in order for roon to identify them as belonging to the same SACD. With an SACD ISO the stereo and multichannel tracks sit in the same container, so I would assume that the metadata set roon has for a specific SACD content contains both the stereo and multichannel tracks.Īt this time let’s not discuss the merits of being able to play SACD ISOs in roon, but let’s assume that the ISO has been converted to DSF files. In my view one issue with Multichannel is how metadata is handled for SACD material. The NADAC is certainly a DAC I am following closely. You'd have a better likelihood of success and getting an exact copy doing that, probably.I heard the multichannel demo in Munich and I must say, it was extremely impressive. If they are audio CD's 1.) you can't copy the contents in Build mode and 2.) something is wrong because CD's can't be 1 GB.Īctually, you may be better off in this case inserting the SACD disc that Super Author made 2 ISO's out of and using ImgBurn's Read mode to read to a single double layer ISO file. If they're not actual audio CD's, then you can copy the contents. ![]() Since I don't know what SACD's are, I don't know if they're proprietary. If they are audio CD's, then something else is up because no audio CD can be 1 GB or greater. Inferring they're not CD's, which they can't be. You're better off inserting the original source SACD and copying the contents from it. You're better off not merging the contents from the ISO's in this case. Audio CD is capped at less than 1 GB total size. What are SACD musical discs? They can't be audio CD's.
