Moreover, I should have stated that applications ultimately decide the error correction important to them. DRAM implements overhead for error detection and most correction in PC based apps, but errors do happen. We are arguing about the frequency, and how much overhead it justifies when it comes to ripping audio, or how much it justifies claims that PC based listening is inherently superior due to its ability to supposedly support superior bit accuracy. No evidence has been produced for the latter claim. In all my ripping CDs with dbpoweramp and accuraterip, with correction setting set high, not a single error has ever been detected. In over 1,000 ripped CDs. Coincidence? Or does it just show that the red Book guys weren't utter morons when encoding audio and that the error detection and correction schemes inherent to audio CDs (and they do exist) are sufficient for the application? Anyone that damages that is negligent enough to damage their CDs should be getting an audiophile forum non-positing penalty, anyhow. -- pablolie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32993 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
