Imperfect reads are corrected 100% almost all the time. That's what the correction code is for. Our university professor drilled a decent size hole in a CD to demonstrate what could be corrected with Reed-Solomon. Uncorrectable reads are seldom even one per disc. Even if there were 10 such uncorrectble errors, which are automatically concealed by CD players, how could they "veil" a whole CD? The real reasons the player sounds good probably have more to do with not running a transport while producing the desired analogue signal. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31595 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
