This module allows you to read an SACD ISO Audio file, list the track\Album and artist information. It can also help you to extract individual audio tracks in dsd format.
Based on the number of Audio channels recorded in the ISO file you can extract the Audio tracks in 2-channel or multi channel configuration.
The output directory can be the same as the ISO file or a custom user specified directory.
By default the extracted files are always output to the same directory as the sacd_extract.exe binary. During extraction the sacd_extract.exe is copied to the Destination or output directory and is cleaned-up post extraction.
A text file containing the ISO disk,Album& Artist information is also created in the output directory.
SACD was Sony and Philips's unsuccessful foray into the world of high-resolution audio. SACD uses a one-bit, high-resolution DSD system that, when used throughout the entire recording process, can produce a stunning audio sound with many times more resolution and much more realistic sound than a compact disc. Also, most SACDs were recorded in stereo rather than in 5.1 surround. More Details Here.

10 Every Breath You Take The Police Every Breath You Take - The Classics 2,6The SACD "Police.iso" contains 10 tracks which have been recorded in 2 different speaker configurations:
- 2-channel
- 6-channel
During extraction you can choose which configuration you want the tracks to be in.
Extract tracks in 2-channel speaker configuration along with a cuesheet. COnvert any DST to DSD format. The output directory is the same as the ISO file.
$ISOFile = "C:\Audio\Police.iso"
Extract-SACDTrack -Path $ISOFile -Channels Two -OutputFormat PhilipsDSDIFF -ConvertDSTtoDSD -ExportCueSheet -Verbose
# The above command can also be written as :
Extract-SACDTrack -Path $ISOFile -ConvertDSTtoDSD -ExportCueSheet -VerboseThis works because the default values for the "Channels" parameter is "2-channel" and that for the "Outputformat" is "PhilipsDSDIFF"
Extract tracks in 6-channel speaker configuration along with a cuesheet. Convert any DST to DSD format.
$ISOFile = "C:\Audio\Police.iso"
Extract-SACDTrack $ISOFile -Channels multi -ConvertDSTtoDSD -Verbosemulti-channel can mean any of the following speaker configurations 5 6 or 7 channels. The actual number of audio channels of the tracks depends upon the SACD ISO file
$ISOFile = "C:\Audio\Police.iso"
Extract-SACDTrack -Path $ISOFile -Destination "C:\AudioOutput\Police" -ConvertDSTtoDSD -VerboseDestination directory will be automatically created if it dosent already exist.
Philips DSDIFF is the default output format but you may specify any of the following formats during extraction.
$ISOFile = "C:\Audio\Police.iso"
# Output as Sony DSF
Extract-SACDTrack $ISOFile -OutputFormat SonyDSF -ConvertDSTtoDSD -Verbose
# Output as Raw ISO
Extract-SACDTrack $ISOFile -OutputFormat RAWISO -ConvertDSTtoDSD -Verboseyou can use the pipeline to process multiple SACD ISO files in different sub directories
