It didn't have an error counter on it, but I have performed various tests involving playing CDRs and recording the SPDIF output to hard disk and then comparing the results with the WAV files ripped from CDs. And those tests showed that the data stream emerging from the SPDIF output was bit-identical to the original CD data. (The purpose of the tests was to prove that it was possible to make perfect CDR copies of CDs, but as a side-effect it also demonstrates that CDs (and CDRs) are normally read without error. In any case, I really shouldn't need to produce supporting evidence for the error-free reading of CDs: that particular imaginary bogeyman was put to bed a very long time ago. If you believe that CD players don't routinely read CDs without error, then you're deluding yourself. -- cliveb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22301 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
