EAC has some built-in tests for the speed of your CDROM drive. Some drives perform poorly for ripping audio, others are better, hence speed differences.
I have a Yamaha CRW-F1 CD drive and an LG4040B DVD drive. The Yamaha drive is supposed to be a real good drive for audio, yet EAC can't rip audio off it faster than about 6X. The cheesy LG DVD drive rips audio at 20X. Go figure! I also use Feurio which has its own tests of drive ripping speed. It says my CRW-F1 is perfect at a max rip speed of 40X. Now I am confused. I haved ripped and burned many CDs using Feurio and never had any problems with audio quality, so I'm inclined to use Feurio to do my high speed ripping. I'll be doing 600+ CDs for my SB3 library soon and every "X" I can get will be less torture. I'm going to look for a utility to compare the Feurio and EAC output .wav files. The I will know for sure.
