Technically that's possible, but it seems extremely unlikely. When I rip CDs in good condition with EAC I get perfect rips almost always, without any re-reading necessary, at about 5x audio speed. That's using a $30 DVD/CD ROM player. I don't see why a dedicated audio CD player reading at 1x shouldn't do as well or better. Don't forget that redbook has error correction built into it. I don't think data errors are a factor in sound quality unless the CD is damaged. In any case that could be checked easily with a CD player with a digital out. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37553 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
