Indeed. There is no need to measure bit-perfectness since it is
assured by virtue of the fact that HDCD or DTS-encoded rips just
wouldn't work at all if a bit was altered!.

For ripping, I'd suggest you go with EAC or dbPowerAmp. These (and

your rip against an online database (AccurateRip) of other users rips.
If your rips 100% match other users rips, you can be fairly certain
