Yours is about the only sane thread on the Internet about it. 👍 I remember when I first did this quite a few years ago with my Oppo BDP-105. (2016-ish?) It took a while to make sense of everything but I got it sorted quickly enough. I think it's great that there are many more players now that can rip the discs.
For sure, and it's worth noting that this thread grew to the size that it is in part due to the testing and development required to unlock the compatibility with so many additional player models.
When we started here nearly 3 years ago there were only the Oppo and Pioneer brands, each with just two known compatible models, and the Sony discovery had just been made, I believe only the S390 and 590 had been confirmed working to that point if memory serves.
So while we were fairly sure for example that other brands whose players were based on the Oppo platform (Cambridge, Arcam, Primare, Electrocompaniet, MSB) were likely also compatible, no one knew for sure until they were actually tested.
But the big break through of course was the discovery on the Computer Audiophile forum that some inexpensive Sony brand players could use the Pioneer version of the AutoScript, and rip SACD by using the little trick of putting them to sleep which is unique to the Sony brand players.
Then still more models and brands, including both ARMv6 and also ARMv7-based units were discovered. Add to that
@Nexus3's fantastic AutoRip method to the existing network server method, and yeah, the thread is now long, though not remotely the mess that exists on this topic on certain other forums.
I'm always amazed when someone takes a cursory glance at the thread and determines it is much too large for them to digest, and just give me the cheat sheet please. They seem to be completely and conveniently ignoring or disregarding the fact that there is not and cannot be just one easy cheat sheet, not with 2 different ripping methods (local and network), 3 operating systems (Windows, Mac, and Linux), and currently 38 different player models across 11 brands. Thats a lot of permutations.
So while I do think this thread is still a manageable size, and the HFH site upgrade last year that enhanced the Search capability when used along with the Bookmark function should make things easy enough to navigate, others disagree and find the whole thing daunting because they are too used to "push button receive bacon". Those folks I can't really help, or maybe I should say I don't want to.
But for anyone to make the claim that the information as presented here is "fragmented", that is too easily and conveniently overlooking the fact that it was generated over now 3 years time, and represents not just a quick "how to" guide on one player model circa May 2018, but an evolution of nearly constant development, testing, and upgrade to the various tools needed to unlock all of those additional player brands and models, using either Windows, macOS, or Linux.
Of that we are very proud, as well as counting participating members from 39 different countries, truly an international effort aiding music lovers in ripping their treasured SACD collections.
