I have a PS3 to convert SACDs, but to a real high performance system, it was not good enough. The files tested here was very below of the original SACD result. If any one have opinion about that I will appreciate very much.

Interesting - I had no idea. I spun discs on different hardware than rip playback. I am tempted to download a native DSD file download and compare a PS3 SACD rip of the exact same file, to test your hypothesis. I'll probably get use something from channel classics for the test.

That's been my experience as well. Some PS3 SACD rips are OK but others are quite a distance from the SACD audio quality. And both pale to buying a DSD Download sourced from a DSD Edit Master or an Analog Tape to DSD transfer.
SACDs? What are SACDs? I have none. But then perhaps I am not a proper audiophile . . . Gosh, how glad am I in hindsight that I have not participated in the format wars.

The biggest problem are the SACDs we have what wasn't released in high quality files. The PS3 ripping was a promising solution, but the quality is very below than desired. I think it is a software problem. This new promising could help if work with a EAC engine in a wildows computer for example, but PS3 is not the best option yet after my tests here. If any one have different opinion, if possible let us know what procedure are you using to make possible define how make it work. I have no sure if is possible I do not be doing the best procedure for that.
In time, if someone have the last version of PS3 ripping software, I want update mine but I haven't knowledge to compile a new one. If possible send to me by sendspace, I will appreciate very much. If possible send me a PM.
DSD File (Analog to DSD transfers), Blue Coast and Downloads Now (DSD recordings and Analog to DSD transfers), some titles on Super Hi Rez (check album descriptions) are also worth exploring.

+1 on the above. Also Acousticsounds however here I seem to have better luck when the downloads say from original analog tape. when they say from the sony dad digital masters...not so much

Exactly. Super HiRez is the Acoustic Sounds downloads site.
When the Super HiRez/Acoustic Sounds downloads tell you they are from DSD recordings (they call them "DSD Pure") or Analog Tape to DSD transfers, you have some really nice sounds. The PCM sourced DSD downloads from Sony, Universal and Others are more subtle in terms of potential sound upgrades.
