TRAX Audio SACD Extractor
- less informationUsing iTunes to rip CDs is not a good idea. Yes, it’s fast, but behind that speed, lies the issue of being able to rip words that have been flagged by the Error. Feb 11, 2014 The second part involves running another SACD extraction program on your PC. First, you have to install 'sacdextract.exe' on your computer. Here are the steps I follow to extract the DSF files for each track: Copy the ISO from my thumb drive (or DVD-R) to the same folder where sacdextract.exe is located on my PC, which I'll call the rip folder. Extracting ISO files on a Mac with OS X Yosemite can be done through the built in disk utility tool. The Open Disk Image option allows you to extract the files stored in the ISO file. The files that are extracted from the ISO file are loaded in a disk image that appears on your desktop.

Hi-res Audio Collection
In our time the habits of listening music tend to computer audio, and together with this phenomenon the demand for tracks of high resolution and excellent quality has risen. Good examples of this are the solutions appearing in street and home environment, such as DSD Native DAC, PONO and other music players of high resolution. Two wide-spread musical base materials are available: the SACD and the high quality tracks are to be downloaded directly from the publishers (FLAC, DSD).
We recommend TraX SACD Extractor primarily those who would like to play their SACD music stuff on instruments supporting native DSD or common audio formats (FLAC, WAV, AIFF, etc.). With the help of TraX SACD Extractor you can build up your own music collection on your PC or music server. The collection can be easily organised and tagged.

User interface
- An easy to review track list, in which you can clearly follow the conversion process
- Disc Information Block display

- Extended TAG editor that is loaded with data deriving from SACD as a default setting
- Built-in tag editing functions:
- Text transformation (upper case – lower case)
- Easy management of database
- Reload original tags from disc
- Tag copying - Cover Art support and built-in simple image resampling engine

Conversion method
The 64bit Ultra High Precision Direct is one of the world most precise conversion algorithm.
In case of conversion the program automatically calculates the volume increase to 0dB and automatically saves the value of increase for the different discs and conversion types, which can be adjusted manually as well. If manual adjustment is implemented, the same value applies for all CD.
- According to default setting (always) the program automatically performs the volume increase during analysis
- Support of Multichannel area
- Enhanced options for output sample rate: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz, 192 kHz, 352.8 kHz and 384 kHz can be selected as well
- Support of several PCM output formats, such as AIFF, FLAC, TTA, WAV, ALAC, APE, etc.
- Support of DSD formats (DSF and DSDIFF) (only extraction not conversion)
- Selectable dithering (none, TPDF, RPDF, Noise Shaped)
- Selectable resampling engine (CoreAudio, SOXR, SSRC)
- Customizable resampling engine parameters (speed, quality, precision)
- Supported second pass IIR filtering (Bessel, Butterworth, Chebyshev I, Chebyshev II, Elliptic, Legendre, RBJ Biquad)
- Second pass IIR filter designer with graphical charts and frequency list
- Support DST compression in input (multilayer SACD) and output formats (lossless compression for DSD – only DSDIFF)
- Predefined values represent our recommended settings
- Adjustable gap handling
- Batch conversion
- Individual Tracks and Whole Area (Stereo/Multichannel) conversion (PCM output) or extraction (DSD output) mode with CUE file support
In case of conversion the structure of the output files and folders can be effectively parameterized. The program comprises the most general direct, multi drive and variable precision algorithms.
New Features in 2.2
- Dynamic audio normalise function
- 64bit Extreme Precision Direct conversion mode fine tuning
- SSRC resampler optimization
- Extended analysing information in log file
- Minor user interface bug fixes
Trial Limitations
You can try it for free but this unregistred version of TraX can handling only the first three tracks. Any parameters of this licence are same like the registred version.
