Hi,

For many years now, I've used a TSSTcorp CDDVDW SE-208DB drive to rip my cd's, but the drive is getting old, and it's not always accurate. So, I'm looking for the external cd-drive, that rips cd's as best and accurate to the original material as possible. I don't care at all about size, speed or noice, or if it needs extrernal power, only about the result. I've tried reading about it, but I don't understand all this about Things like offset samples. What do I do, and what do you recoment?

I use Exact Audio Copy to rip my cd's, but I'm not quite sure if I'm using the right settings for most accurate ripping. Here is the top of a log-file for one of my newest rips. Am I doing it right?
