I agree : if two rippers give two files with same checksum, then these files are the same with a very high probability (never forget that hash functions are mathematically many-to-one, and that collisions do exist).
Anyway, the posts I mentioned never said the file were the same, just that size were equals - this is different and I regret the guy did not hash his results, just to be sure. Because I will be glad to blame him with you if he pretends hearing differences between (most likely) identical files, but with different files I can see no reason why he could not hear differences... That is why I ask this question : did anybody tested several rippers with the same "system chain" (disc reader, disc, computer...) And don't tell me that AccurateRip is the Absolute Guardian of Truth. If I'm not wrong, AccurateRip ensure you that (many) other people obtained the same result when ripping the same disc. So it does not seem obvious to me that this means that que file obtained is the *right* file (if the expression "the right file" has a sense). I agree that it is most likely the fact, nevertheless. -- AlAz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AlAz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=26092 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72916 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
