AccurateRip returns "confidence level", in '%', not Yes or No. It's obvious if you have good CD and good drive there most likely will be no errors at all, but we aren't talking about that case. It's discussed more then enough that AccurateRip alone is better then nothing, but definitely isn't enough for secure rip. As for re-reads with the same result, technically it's possible, I don't know how often it happens, and again that's not the point. The point it - good software uses combination of the methods, it's always better then using just one. Right drive gives you more options, that's all. Is there any room for disagreement in this statement? -- 325xi simaudio nova cdp >> simaudio moon i-5 >> revel performa m20 via acoustic zen matrix reference ii and acoustic zen satori -planned additions:... >> deq2496 >> lavry da-10 >>...- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 325xi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5661 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32725 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
