After ripping a CD in dbBpoweramp 13.3, I ended up getting an "Accurate (confidence 3) on all tracks, except track 2. The results are below:
But when I re-ripped the same album in EAC 0.99b5, I got an "Accurate (confidence 3)" on every track:
So I made some modifications to the settings in dBpoweramp 13.3, choosing to use Ultra Secure Mode, and experimented with the Maximum Re-Reads setting. First, I took it from the default to 50, and that didn't work. Finally, I jacked it up to 100, and I ended up, finally, getting an "Accurate (confidence 3) result
NOTE: The test and read CRC's didn't match up
At this point, I'm wondering what the Maximum Re-Reads setting should really be. Especially since the literature on dBpoweramp's website says the the maximum setting should be, at most, set at 50 for optical drives that have no C2. Doesn't anything above 50 increase the chance of errors getting through?
BTW: The CD in question is pristine, and has never had any problems in EAC at all.
