If two rippers produce two files with the same checksum, the files are identical. That really is all that needs to be said on this subject...?
EAC and DBPoweramp and CDParanoia all rip accurately if setup correctly and used with undamaged discs. The rips do not sound any different...because they are identical. It's a simple matter to prove this and it has been done many, many times. When Audiophiles collide with computers, the result is always confusion or denial. If two computer files have the same content, there is NO WAY they can sound different. If this were not true, computers simply would not work. Audiophiles often fail to grasp this simple, unavoidable truth. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
