Very reasonable pricing, too. $5 for stereo and $7.50 for multichannel discs. Shipping not included.

I think it's quite reasonable, since most people don't have the PS3 with the particular firmware to rip SACD's.

Well you don't need to have an early PS3 with old firmware anymore. I have such a PS3 but unfortunately it got again the Red Light of Death and I didn't want to pay a lot of money anymore to reflow the PS3.. So I went looking for an alternative... And there is. With the following Blu-ray players you can also make a digital (ISO) copy on your PC:
Oppo 103/105, Cambridge Audio 752bd/cxu, Pioneer bdp-lx58/88, BDP-160/170 and 180

Of course I tried it and it works great. Imho even easier than the PS3 method. I took an old USB data stick and copied the required files onto. Every time I want to make a copy of a SACD I plug-in the USB stick into my OPPO 103 and insert the SACD. On my desktop PC, somewhere else in my house, I start the program SACD ripper with the IP address of my OPPO 103 and an ISO copy is being made on my PC. Really easy.

Great info, guys. Too bad I only have an Oppo 93 (but I don't have that many SACDs).

I just started using this method as well. Works perfectly. I couple this method with ISO2DSD.

For $7.50 per disc - and they enter the metadata for you - it sounds like a real bargain to me.

I was fortunate to have a friend who liberated my 20 or so SACDs via Playstation.
