Not sure what your problem is, but don't worry - you'll get it sorted out. EAC makes exact or nearly exact copies of CDs, and when there are errors they don't sound anything like distortion. If there's a scratch and you rip the disc using a itunes or another program which isn't as careful as EAC you'll get a periodic ticking sound (presumably because the disc is rotating and the scratch is radial). Or you may get a burst of garbled sound (if the scratch is azimuthal). But none of that sounds like distortion, and it can't presist for very long. So you've got a problem somewhere else - it could be something is normalizing the track and doing a very bad job (and in any case you DON'T want to do that while ripping), or it could be somewhere else in your audio chain. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27245 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
