SACD ISO - flymetothemoon - 2023-12-07
Hey there!
I was wondering if SACD ISOs work with jellyfin?
So far they are being recognized as files and they appear in the desktop client but they can't be played.
I was wondering what the progress is with the possibility to use this kind of music format.
Like you know when you load the SACD ISO in foobar for example, it shows all the stereo(2ch) tracks and all the multichannel(5ch usually) tracks. Would be nice to have this with jellyfin too in the clients when you click on a SACD ISO from the server.

I'm asking around. For CDs, DVDs, and Blurays Jellyfin is supposed to support playing those. I see codec for playing DSD.
I'm waiting on the dev that is the authority on this subject to respond in our chat.

TLDR; You're going to have to rip your disc.
RE: SACD ISO - flymetothemoon - 2023-12-07
That wouldn't be an issue HOWEVER, once you use something like iso2dsd, the files take 2-3 times more space on the hdd compared to just storing them as an ISO.
ISO is better way to store them...

Probably because it is converting DST to DSD? Is there a way to keep them DST?
RE: SACD ISO - flymetothemoon - 2025-06-13
Well, I ended up just keeping them as dff files, takes more space but works out of the box in Jellyfin
RE: SACD ISO - gizmomelb - 2025-07-23
can you please recommend a good audio conversion program? I have SACD rips in .WAV and other formats. Thank you.

^ SACD rips in .WAV aren't SACD files anymore. They'll be either an SACD ISO, DSF, DFF, DST files. Foobar2000 (with the right plugins) can extract from SACD ISOs or use some more specific like ISO2DSD https://www.sonore.us/iso2dsd.html. For conversion of DFF files (either containing DSD or DST) to DSF a neat little program called Deffy is what you want. https://www.mymymyohmy.com/software/deffy.html For all other conversions Foobar2000 will handle pretty much anything (WAV, FLAC, mp3 etc.).
