I did some experimenting the last computer I set up, but putting the three optical drives I had on hand into the computer and ripping several discs with EAC in both burst and secure modes. Every time I got the exact same results, when comparing the resulting files at the bit level. I think one drive was an ASUS CD-R, then a Plextor CD-RW and a Plextor DVD-RW. Glutton for punishment that I am, I continue to use the Plextor DVD-RW for ripping, doing a test & copy each time, which halves the overall speed. I get something like 1.25X-2X on most CDs. Last night I ripped a pristine 65 minute CD last that took 48 minutes, with no errors. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21806 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
