Perhaps there is something in your setup causing this difference (hardware interference?). Don't know. Could be and at least this is a scientifically possible explanation. But I can assure you that if the CDs are ripped to WAV (or FLAC) with DbPA and the rip returned a Secure indication (or better yet an AccurateRip match of more than "1" so that the secure rip matched a secure rip on at least one other person's rip) then the rip is bit perfect. And there is no such thing as "more" vs "less" pure bit perfect. Bit perfect is bit perfect in terms of rips.
And not sure which articles you are talking about. But if it is the "Absolute Sound" articles on ripping, these are completely laughable in terms of any reality whatsoever. They are equivalent to arguing that the earth is flat. The tests performed and conclusions reported are so over the top wrong I can't even begin to describe.
