Unless you're going to > claim EAC advantages as "pure hype"... If you are ripping an undamaged CD which has been properly manufactured, then you'll get exactly the same (error-free) result regardless of the DAE program you use. The thing which sets EAC apart from other DAE programs is (i) the fact that it can tell you whether the rip was error-free, and (ii) its treatment of damaged CDs.
Of course I acknowledge that CDs do exist which cannot be read without error. They may be damaged, or they may have been mastered/pressed badly. But in my experience, playing such a CD on an audio CD player and recording the SPDIF output often gives a better result than letting EAC "do its magic". -- cliveb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24957 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
