Re: best brand of cd-drive for ripping

The non-real Plextors (230A) is way superior to both a Premium and Premium 2 (which are REAL plextors).

How can you see it's better ? What things will you notice in dbpoweramp with better drives or how do you see that?

What is it about real or not? I have plextor box it was put in, so i guess it's real. What do you mean by not real plextor? If you buy it in store and it has plextor box, it can be fake? :s I don't understand.

Plextor 760 then 230

This week I''m testing a new two step process. It is based on some of the mentions of anomalies on this board and my own C2 quality tests with Plex-tools ProXL on damaged audio discs.

Since many of my discs are not in accurate rip or I get an all but one cut match but one -cut secure with no match I'm trying PX-760s first, with re-rip of anything suspicious by PX-230. I got a carton of each Plextor Model, all new, from a local OEM liquidator.

I'm re building my two dedicated IDE machines with one drive each and will re-rip about 50 discs from my first test run of 500 that may be suspicious. I'll report back on the end of the week.

that is the 230 only, and only in regards to C2 support, but does not support over reading or FUA and may not support HTOA.

Hi,

I was wondering what brands of cd-drives are best for using with dBpoweramp Reference's CD ripper? I have a Plextor PlexWriter Premium and it has C2 error support and also supports FUA. I have very good results with dBpoweramp.
Is Plextor the best brand for cd-drives to use in dBpoweramp's CD Ripper or are there also other good brands (they must have C2 pointers and FUA support)?

thx
