Please read his quote again: "Of course I acknowledge that CDs do exist which cannot be read without error. They may be damaged, or they may have been mastered/pressed badly. But in my experience, playing such a CD on an audio CD player and recording the SPDIF output often gives a better result than letting EAC "do its magic." - cliveb" As Phil points out, a CDP is not going to be able read a damaged disc as well as EAC, so the recording cliveb makes off the CDP's SPDIF output is probably going to contain ECCs. If cliveb now runs this CDR through EAC, I'd like to know what "magic" EAC is going to perform to recover the data that the CDP couldn't read. -- mauidan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mauidan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1679 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24957 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
