I have no doubt that you can get a perfect read via EAC (that's why I called the MP's method "EAC in a box"). But the point is that there is verification and re-reads required to get there...and while it may not need the 100x read capability that the Memory Player provides (and I've been told it often only takes 2 reads), there does seem to be some validity to the idea that getting 100% data accuracy on one read is highly unlikely on a cheap CD-ROM drive or a cheap redbook CD transport mechanism. -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc. http://www.sonicspirits.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PhilNYC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31595 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
