That's an interesting comment. Mind if I ask under what circumstances you've compared the two? Unless one ripper or the other is inserting a constant stream of incorrect samples into the file, it's not even possible for them to sound different. That's the beauty of digital; the file that ends up on your hard disc is either right or it's wrong. A bad rip is most likely to end up with a few isolated drop-outs; it would take a badly broken CD drive to somehow manage a continuous reduction in sound quality. To do that would require a very large number of read errors - something which just doesn't happen with a working drive, and which EAC would be unlikely to be able to correct just by retrying over and over again. -- AndyC_772 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndyC_772's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39438 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
