Pioneer BD-RW BDR-UD04 Inaccurate Rips Every Time

Yes I can confirm these are garbage.

I purchased a unit in 2020 and finally got to use it in 2021.

Initially the unit was making a clicking noise on the rips to my hard drive and everything ripped was inaccurate, as has been alluded to in other posts here. I attempted all sorts of fixes and one day I managed to get some accurate rips but I have no idea what caused the change in behaviour.

I had to rebuild my PC in 2022 and the issue reappeared. I contacted Verbatim and they sent a new unit but it performed as badly as the first.

Today I purchased an external Pioneer BDRXS07TUHD as I need the ability to transport and it gave 100% accurate rips on the 20 CD's

I can also confirm Exact Audio Copy works well with this drive.

It's not a drive issue, its a dBpoweramp issue.

CD Ripper >> Green Options button >> CD Ripper Options

Communication to 'Windows Internal'

Restart CD Ripper

Basically the drive is garbage, if you care about ripping, replace the drive it is the only one out of 5000 drives, and I suspect it is the version of the drive which has been patched to rip blu-rays.
