I'm not sure I agree with the 'no compromises' comment. I have three different CD/DVD drives on my PCs (NEC, Plextor and Sony) and use Plextools, EAC and dbPowerAmp for ripping. Regardless of which software/hardware combination I use, the results are bitwise identical to all of the others (based on the response from AccurateRip and Foobar's bit compare facility).Using iTunes, however, the results are always different from the other rips, leaving me to believe that iTunes doesn't understand the nature of my particular drives (such as proper read offsets, etc). I can't say how iTunes responds on a Mac, but on a PC with Windows it doesn't appear to provide the same accuracy as the other tools I mentioned.
