It isn't necessary. The latest versions of sacdextract and the forks have fixed that bug. I use JRiver Media Center to play DSD files. My DSD files are in DSF format. I haven't heard ticks or glitches at track changes with my gear when using sacdextract 0.3.8 or the setmind fork from that version.
On a Mac, you need to compile sacdextract 3.9 using Terminal. While not exactly for the faint of heart, it's also not super difficult either. The actual command line entry only takes a few minutes, then you sit back while the developer tool compiles a Unix executable, pretty fast depending on variables such as your download speed, CPU speed. Java needs to be installed (Download) Tool Iso2dsd ( Download) Step 1. Download and Install Java Runtime. Download iso2dsd, Exact files and run iso2dsdgui.exe. Tab Select file: Open SACD.iso file at Look in. Tab option: Select output format at Output Mode, check box convert DST to DSD.
Run SACD Ripper and insert the USB stick when it prompts you for the root key files. You’re now all set to perform your first rip. Insert an SACD. SACD Ripper should recognise it. Insert a large capacity USB device. SACD Ripper under-states the size required, and won’t warn you if your device isn’t big enough. Download your required version of ISO2DSD from the Sonore website. There are versions available for Windows, OSX and Linux, though I.

-- SACD Ripper PS3 installation --
There are three main steps to install the PS3 SACD Ripper:
1. Install a custom firmware (see instructions below) that allows patching
and the installation of custom applications.
2. Download or Compile the sacd-ripper.pkg file and install this on your PS3
3. Download the PS3 keys and use this on first time installation (see
instructions below)
--- Custom Firmware Installation ---
Make sure you have a PS3 model with SACD compatible player. For more information
on what model specifically go to: http://ps3sacd.com/faq.html#_Toc180147566
You need to install a custom firmware to be able to rip SACDs. At this time of
writing the PS3 firmware has not been cracked for firmware 3.56 and upwards. So
in order to install the correct firmware you'll have to make sure your firmware
is lower or equal to 3.55. A downgrade for a firmware higher than 3.55 is NOT
available.
The custom firmware that is needed must be 3.55 and should allow patching. Most
custom firmwares like Kmeaw, Rebug, etc. all facilitate this. Google for
'kmeaw cfw' and you'll find several download links.
Custom Firmware installation steps:
1: Plug a USB stick into your computer
2: Copy the custom firmware file that you downloaded to a USB memory
stick as /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP.
3: Plug the USB stick into your PS3
4: Navigate to Settings Tab
5: Choose System Update
6: Choose Update via Storage Media
7: It will say it found Version 3.55
8: Choose OK
9: Accept Conditions and Follow the instructions
If the steps above did not work for you, then you are probably on 3.55 already.
You will have to do a recovery menu mode installation:
1: Plug a USB stick into your computer
2: Copy the custom firmware file that you downloaded to a USB memory
stick as /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP.
3: Plug the USB stick into your PS3
4: Power down the PS3 through the menu
5: Now press and HOLD the power button, the system will startup and shutdown
again
6: Release the power button, then press & HOLD power again, you'll hear one
beep
followed by two consecutive beeps
7: Release power then follow the on-screen instructions. You're now in the
recovery menu
8: Connect the USB device and select 'System Update.'
9: Accept Conditions and Follow the instructions
-- SACD Ripper Installation Instructions --
Now you've completed the firmware upgrade you are ready to install
sacd-ripper.pkg. You may compile the sacd-ripper.pkg or you can use your
google skills to find a pre-compiled package. (no, I will not distribute
the sacd-ripper.pkg as that could potentially give me legal issues).
In order for the PS3 BluRay player to authenticate the SACD disc and to decode
DST to DSD two SPU isoself modules will be extracted from the system. In order
to do so you must give the SACD-Ripper the PS3 keys so it can extract them
automatically.
Get the PS3 keys from https://github.com/Mamdooh/PS3keys and put these in the
root of an USB disc. They will be asked for during first time installation,
after that you can remove the keys from your USB disc.
-- SACD Ripper Build Instructions --To compile you will need the psl1ght suite. If you want to compile on a windowsenvironment I advice you to follow the CygWin installation as the MingW
installation is unstable.
When psl1ght has been properly setup you need to configure SACD-Ripper with the
following commands:
1. svn checkout http://sacd-ripper.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ sacd-ripper
2. cd sacd-ripper
3. sh configure
4. make
SACD-Ripper should compile without errors and warnings. Once completed you
should have the sacd-ripper.pkg package that can be installed on your PS3.
-- SACD Extract Build Instructions --
First you need to install the latest version of cmake: http://www.cmake.org/
Now you can configure SACD extract using a 'cmake .' followed by a 'make'
command or when you don't like the command line you can generate
project files for your favorite GUI (XCode, MSVC, etc.).
On Windows you need pthread support and libiconv. Pthread support for windows
can be downloaded from: http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/
And to compile libiconv on windows you can do the following:
1. Open the Visual Studio Command prompt
2. Change directory to libslibiconv
3. run: 'nmake -f Makefile.msvc NO_NLS=1'
4. now you can compile using the MSVC project file
-- SACD Ripper/Extract Usage Instructions --
From version 0.3.6 and upwards SACD Ripper has two modes of operation:
1. Daemon mode (selected by default if you don't make a selection within 5
seconds after booting SACD Ripper).
2. ISO extraction mode (the previous versions of SACD Ripper allowed you to
extract DSDIFF, DSF directly, but this feature has been removed in favor
of local extraction using SACD Extract).
SACD Extract (available on Windows, Linux, OS X) allows you to extract
individual tracks from ISO files when operated in file mode or from the SACD
Ripper when operated in Daemon mode.
The following options are available for the sacd_extract commandline tool:
Usage: sacd_extract [options] [outfile]
-2, --2ch-tracks : Export two channel tracks (default)
-m, --mch-tracks : Export multi-channel tracks
-e, --output-dsdiff-em : output as Philips DSDIFF (Edit Master) file
-p, --output-dsdiff : output as Philips DSDIFF file
-s, --output-dsf : output as Sony DSF file
-I, --output-iso : output as RAW ISO
-c, --convert-dst : convert DST to DSD
-C, --export-cue : Export a CUE Sheet
-i, --input[=FILE] : set source and determine if 'iso' image,
device or server (ex. -i192.168.1.10:2002)
-P, --print : display disc and track information
Help options:
-?, --help : Show this help message
--usage : Display brief usage message
Usage examples:
Extract all stereo tracks to multiple DSDIFF files and convert all DST to DSD:
$ sacd_extract -2 -p -c -i'Foo_Bar_RIP.ISO'
Extract all multi channel tracks from the given ISO to multiple DSF files and
convert all DST to DSD:
$ sacd_extract -2 -s -i'Foo_Bar_RIP.ISO'
Extract a single DSDIFF/DSD Multi-Channel Edit Master track from the given ISO
and convert all DST to DSD:
$ sacd_extract -m -e -c -i'Foo_Bar_RIP.ISO'
Extract a single ISO file from the SACD Ripper Daemon (IP address and Port is
displayed on startup). You can use SACD Extract again on the ISO file to extract
the DSD data (see the three examples above):
$ sacd_extract -I -i192.168.1.10:2002
Extract all multi channel tracks from the SACD Ripper Daemon (IP address and
Port is displayed on startup) to multiple DSDIFF files and keep the DST format:
$ sacd_extract -m -p -i192.168.1.10:2002
Generate a sacd_log.txt file that contains the ISRC codes which should/could
be used for ISO verification.
$ sacd_extract -P -i192.168.1.10:2002 >sacd_log.txt

FLAC is a losslessly compressed audio formats which means audio is compressed without data loss but file size can be reduced to 50–60% of its original size. FLAC is supported by many hardware devices like WD TV, Samsung Galaxy phones and tabs, etc.
However, ripping CD to FLAC on Mac is not quite easy as converting CD to FLAC on Windows. The native CD Ripper, iTunes, can only rip CD to MP3, AAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless, WAV. Some programs that batch rip CD to FLAC easily are yet to support Mac OS X system.
Actually there are several free Mac programs that can convert CD to FLAC, like X Lossless Decoder and Max. But XLD and MAX fail to win some people’s favor as XLD is unable to edit output song names before decoding, decodes one file at a time and doesn’t utilize multi-core processing; and MAX stopped updating since 2009 and may not meet your demands if you are Mountain lion and Mavericks users.

SACD ISO support is not a popular feature in media players, especially when it comes to Linux audio.
As of today the most popular solution is an MPD fork, a program not found by default in most of the Linux distributions (if you have an Archphile supported board however you can use the package I have created for that).
If you have this type of files and you can’t currently use them, the best solution is to convert them to separate .dsf or .dff files.
Below I will show you one command line and one GUI option (that uses the same command line tool).
Command Line Procedure
In order to proceed you will need sacd-ripper.
I am an Archlinux user so all I had to do was to give the following command:
the man page of this tool is pretty straight-forward:
Based on the above, the command you will need is the following:
GUI Procedure
In order to get the GUI, you need to visit this link and download is2dsd. This program is in fact nothing more than a java gui of sacd-ripper.
Make sure that you have java installed and run it. You will see something similar to the image below:
All you have to do is to load the .iso. If you want to extract the stereo version of the SACD in .dsf format (it’s the best option as it supports tags) and you want to create a .cue file, make sure your settings are identical to the image above.
