This doesn't even make sense. If you make an -exact- duplicate, then it will sound -exactly- like the original, by definition. Maybe what they meant to say is that the disc could not be duplicated -exactly-, and they might be partially correct. In fact, each stamped copy is not exactly like another stamped copy. The real question is, does the player extract identical audio data from each copy? If it does, then the differences are immaterial to how the disc sounds.
AccurateRip "proves" on a daily basis that EAC correctly extracts matching data from copies of many discs using a wide variety of hardware. It has been said that a disc, accurately read with EAC and played back from the hard drive using a good DAC can be as good as and maybe better than the most exotic stand alone CD player. -- Timothy Stockman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timothy Stockman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8867 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42717 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
