What a ugly title but I need your help.
I have a valuable music CD collection (most of my CDs cost $30-100 and are in Mint Condition).
Also I collect Movies boutique labels DVD/BluRay/4K UHD (Criterion, Indicator, Arrow, Vinegar Syndrome etc.), those are valuable too.
The point is: I'm a mac user and I want rip all my CD collection to AIFF with XLD https://tmkk.undo.jp/xld/index_e.html
I buy this enclosure and CD/DVD Drive around 2018:
The problem is that I notice the drive or the enclosure or the match of both, scratch my CDs! I can't allow that! the condition matters a lot to me! I stop to use it,
Sometimes the drive sounds strange, please watch this: https://mega.nz/fm/TFZVUQAC that sound sounds rude, I feel that's when scratch the discs, leaves some circular marks on.
So of course I need another drive? I'm not an expert on this, so please help me, my question are:
1. There's a single drive that can rip 4K UHD, BluRay, DVD and CDs? without affect the quality of the rips of each? or!!! I need to buy one for ONLY CDs and other for 4K UHD BluRays? you got my point? I mean, maybe one drive is the one to just rip music cds and other to just movies.
2. The big question, so which drive or drives to buy to avoid scratches get proper rips?
3. There's a new model of the enclosure https://www.amazon.com/External-Encl.../dp/B09SS74KCN I should buy it or keep the previous model that I have, maybe the problem is the drive and not the enclosure?
4. I need a enclosure/drive combo, or there's only one unit ready to use? I don't like slot loading drives, those can leave scratches on discs.
Please help, I really need backup my collection without damage my discs!!!
Thank You
