1) ISO image created using sacd-ripper for PS3 



2) Dff files extracted from the ISO using SACD_Extract



3) Dff files analysed using foobar + foo_input_sacd and DR Meter plugins to find peak track(s)



4) Loudest tracks converted using Weiss Saracon 1.61-27 at 24bit/88.2kHz with 0dB gain



5) Non-clipping gain calculated using SoX



6) Edited Master Dff file extracted using SACD_Extract
