Highly unlikely. I have two cheap DVD-ROM drives in an old desktop, and they both read unscratched CDs with zero errors, at about 5-10X real time speed with zero error correction (other than what's built in to the redbook standard) or re-reading. > Now, if only I had an S/PDIF recorder... Many consumer-grade computer sound cards will do that. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57173 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
