It took some time getting it setup just right. That's not an issue with the UI per se but there are a lot of options and their effects are not always obvious. Yes, I've had it hang on me - when you rip 1200 cds any software is bound to hang once in a while. I have no evidence to prove that its rips are "better" as I haven't taken the time to rip with another app to do a compare. However, I've never heard a glitch, pop or other artifact when listening to my rips as long as EAC reported no errors. That's reason enough for me to trust it and not need to search for a different ripper as well as recommend it to anyone looking to create perfect rips of their own. I guess that puts me firmly in the "EAC crowd" and I'm sorry if you've heard this all before but that's what I use and have had success with and I'm merely responding to a question about ripping quality. -- zooropa320 2 Channel Setup: SB3 * Benchmark DAC1 * Classé Audio DR-15 mono blocks * Magnepan MG 3.5Rs * REL Strata III Music Server: Lian-Li PC-V2000B Case * Turbo-Cool 510 XE Power Supply * Tyan Thunder K8S Pro Motherboard * 3Ware 9500S-8 SATA RAID Card * 2 AMD Opteron 240 1.4GHz CPUs * 2 512MB PC3200 Corsair CAS 3 DRAMs * 8 250GB SATA Hitachi drives in RAID 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zooropa320's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3420 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21806 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
