What is the best way of capturing the bits that come out of a
squeezebox, or Touch or a pc media player and comparing them to the
original rip?

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!.

Not only do you need a soundcard with SPDIF input, you also need one

that doesn't resample its input - so that disqualifies a large number of
cheaper options. Avoid mainstream cards such as Soundblasters and the
like. Semi-pro cards from people like M-Audio, Echo, E-MU,

For ripping, I'd suggest you go with EAC or dbPowerAmp. These (and
probably others) are nice in that they will compare checksum data of
your rip against an online database (AccurateRip) of other users rips.
If your rips 100% match other users rips, you can be fairly certain
you've got it right!

reg HDCD test an more unsubtle test is the rip an DTS CD if the DTS bit
goes wrong your ht reciever/preamp will only output white noise.
Agreed 100%! I used HDCD as an example, as I have several dozens of
those, but only one DTS CD... of course my collection may be not be
