What settings should i choose for perfect rips?

[eboyer93]

I download the trial for dBpoweramp reference and i would like to no what settings i should choose to get perfect rips. I tried EAC but did not like the GUI. I dont have many cds and they 're all relatively new. Most of them dont have to many sratchs.

Here is my cd drive info according to dBpoweramp:

My drive supports C2 pointers. I dont know how well work. should i enable them anyway?

My drive does cache and it also can clear read cache with FUA. should i enable it?

What other settings should i choose?

Please help i want to get perfect rips.

You need to test for c2 using a scrached CD. The read cache wil not clear with FUA on your drive.

how none my cds are that scratched to test how should i test for c2 then?

I tried testing but none of them worked

Will my read cache still be cleared even without fua?

I tested for c2 pointers by putting a black dot on a cd i dont use and it found them and is going to use them.

Only Plextors support clearing cache with FUA.

Yes enable c2 if they were detected on a scratched cd.
