 Our worthy competitor has recently *removed* support for outputting the
 CD audio format from their flagship product.

 Now, who said they couldn't innovate?

As much as I know I shouldn't jump in to help give Roku a shoeing, I
can't resist this time!!
This is such a dumb thing to do, and having just spent a bit of time
reading their forums I can see they are going to seriously p*ss some of
their customers off!
Way to go...

I've never looked at the Roku world before, but this posting prompted me
to go and read the original forum post that Sean linked to.  It's
certainly a different world over there, isn't it!  I couldn't believe
how strong the temptation was to jump in and post why don't you just
all go and buy a squeezebox?.  :-)  Confusing that the soundbridge is
also referred to as an sb - hadn't thought of that before.

The wild things roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible
teeth
and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws
but Max stepped into his private boat and waved good-bye

Just a quick comment to say how impressed I am with the speed and
sophistication that you've brought to bear in making the variable
outputs flexible and resolving.

Kudos!

 Hi,
 
 If I remember it well, EAC always re read the suspicios block a fixed
 time (I guess 8 times the first time) and if, lets say , 7 of  the 8
 reads of the same block produce the same value, and only one is
 different then EAC assumes that the most common value  is the right
 value. Thats why it always fill the first line of leds. If EAC finds 4
 for one value, and the other 4 for some other value, then it will read
 8 times more ( the second row of leds) and then decide again. If by 64
 re-reads (or 32 dont remember well now) it cant decide whats the right
 value for the block, it will give a data error message.
 

Ah, thanks for jogging my memory; what you say sounds familiar.

But can anyone tell me if CopyTest yielding identical CRCs in burst
mode is as reliable as secure mode?

 The feature is not in yet, but I did get as far as testing the disabling
 of the DAC to confirm that this will probably work for your situation

Is there a bug registered for this feature?
