I read Tom Gibbs article in the Copper Magazine, “Down the Rabbit Hole of SACD Ripping and DSD Extraction” and all I can say is this was too easy! Gone are the days of Play Stations with only a specific level of firmware updates. I picked up a cheap, used Sony Blu-ray from Tom’s list, downloaded t…
