In Reply to: Ripping and burning software - sonic differences? posted by plantsman on March 13, 2007 at 05:11:56:
The files generated are identical from a "data" standpoint, but they can sound so different. From clean and dynamic to hazy, vague, and compressed. And everything in between.The best thing one can do is try as many rippers, burners, and media as possible, and settle on something that produces the best sonic result.
It's a black art. There's probably a scientific explanation. I think it's more than just jitter. And it's a phenomenon that I think has been greatly under-investigated over the years.
It's an element of the major frustrations audiophiles have been having over the years in dealing with digital audio playback.
I think Nero has been producing one of the poorer sounding burn products. I tried the lated version of 7 and thought it was awful. I think EAC is overrated. I personally like EKOS Free CD Ripper 1.5.3 for ripping, Sony CD Architect 5.2 for burning. DART is another good burner, and CDex is another good ripper. Alcohol 120% is my choice if I were to do rip and burn with image files.
