Yes I ripped the SACD's as DSF files to my server. So, I am playing them natively.

Silenzio does not rip SACD. For that I use Oppo 103.

Found on computer audiophile (or maybe it was here):

I have a Mac and followed the following steps (as posted by tmtomh from CA):

A simple set of instructions for Mac users:
1 Download Ted’s Dropbox ZIP file from https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8cunli3d3...2EwCCBhya?dl=0. UnZIP, and discard the “SACD Extract” folder.
2 Copy the Autoscript folder to the root level of an DOS/FAT32-formatted USB stick. (Other files can be on the stick - it doesn’t need to be blank)
3 Download and install Oracle Java 8 SE Development kit for Mac from Java SE Development Kit 8 - Downloads. Macs running El Capitan 10.11 may need to disable System Integrity Protection (SIP), do the install, and then re-enable SIP: http://osxdaily.com/2015/10/05/disab...tion-mac-os-x/
4 Download the Sonore ISO2DSD Java app joker linked to. Here’s a different link to it: Sonore ISO2DSD – V.A.M.P.
5 UnZIP the Sonore download and move the folder into your Applications folder (or wherever you want it). Be sure to keep the .jar file and the "sacd extract" file together in the same folder, wherever you decide to put them.
6 Power on Oppo, ensure it’s connected to your network via ethernet or wi-fi.
7 Disable Auto-play and Auto-resume in Oppo settings.
8 Use Oppo Remote iOS app (or whatever method you like) to find your player’s IP address on your network.
9 Insert USB stick into any of the Oppo’s USB ports. Disk drawer will open almost immediately.
10 Insert SACD of your choosing, close drawer with open/close button (NOT with Play button).
11 On your Mac, launch the .jar file inside the Sonore ISO2DSD folder.
12 In ISO2DSD window, select “from server” radio button at the top, then enter Oppo’s IP address from step 8.
13 On righthand side of ISO2DSD window, select “raw ISO” under “output format.”
14 Press Execute button. Ripping will start in about 10 seconds and progress bar will show.

A few comments:
The Sonore ISO2DSD app asks for a port number. The default port number shown was "2002" and I did not change that number. Also, I did not have to disable the Mac System Integrity Protection when installing the Java development kit, but because of my security settings, I did have to go to the setting in the Mac and allow permission for the Sonore app to run in the Mac.

I am using the Oppo 105D and Mac with OS X El Capitan version 10.11.6.

In less than 30 minutes I downloaded all files and the app and was ready to go.

I have already ripped two of my SACDs. After ripping, I am using MP3TAG to check the metadata and make changes if needed. Once I am satisfied with the metadata, I save the folder to my NAS and to the internal drive in my music server (Sony HAP-Z1ES) and I am done.
