The moderators are having a hard time with this thread as it is and then you have to say something like that? That's not what Sandy said, by any stretch of the imagination, and I think you know it.

Let it go Abrax. There was a general clean up of off topic posts. Yours was lost, but was no great loss to the thread.
Move on.

Sure, no worries pano. I am not contesting the post's removal, fine with that as I agree it was generally OT.
Huh, I did ..... 😕
A few were done with windows media others with dbpoweramp ( flac/wav)
EAC when burning .....
Experimenting now with moving wav to flac and back to see if there is a difference ..

Hi
Did you also compare the rips of dbpoweramp and EAC for audible differences, despite identical check sums ?
Some people have reported that dbpoweramp rips sound a little louder, but the EAC rips have a less prominent centre image on some material.

Both second-rate burning software. (In the case of WMP third-rate even).
Better use Burrrn or EAC.
Seriously looking into this now sandyK, there is a lot that can be done with dbpoweramp, I believe it depends on the material being duplicated, I guess if clipping is present then there could be an issue here with dbpoweramp...
I have selected a new reference and will set playback level on the system after measuring the actual peak and avg dB level, then compare the burned CD's with the reference for sound and playback level with the various software(s)...
When can we expect to see you demonstrate that you can repeatably detect these reported differences?

And the results of your ABX tests that confirmed this audible difference are where exactly? If you're going to make claims like this on an open forum, I think we all have the right to see them.
OK, thanks. You really did not answer my question, tho. Perhaps you don't know what the verify function is? I'll look at EAC to see if it verifies by default. It probably does.
EDIT: I just burned a CD with EAC. As far as I can tell, there was no verification of the burned disc. Nor could I find anywhere to turn this feature on. Seems rather strange for a program as paranoid as EAC.
But EAC reported no errors either ripping or burning, so I guess I can sleep at night. But I do ike to use the verification feature to check that the burn was good. I've seen too many that were not. Usually cheap media to blame. As to whether this home made CD will be easier or harder for a CD player to read, I have no idea.
