Pioneer BD-RW BDR-UD04 Inaccurate Rips Every Time

[FaxMachine]

Just got a new Verbatim KIAB, which shows as a Pioneer BDR-UD04 in dBpoweramp. On first use it did the Accuraterip configuration and set the appropriate offset of +667.
However, when I tested the drive with multiple CD, every track returned a rip status as inaccurate.
I have another drive and tested the same CD, all ripped flawlessly.
I am on 17.7 of dBpoweramp, and did try reverting to an older version, but that also had the same issues.
Is there something I could do to prove the drive is at error?

Here is the technical info from the CD Ripper Options

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Try ripping in burst mode, is still inaccurate?

[FaxMachine]

Yep used Burst mode (default) no joy, all still inaccurate

[Spoon]

You need a different drive.

[FaxMachine]

So I returned the drive, and ordered a replacement of the same model. Unfortunately I get the same issue of every track been 'inaccurate'. Can it really be that both these drives are faulty?

[simbun]

Are the rips consistently inaccurate, by that I mean if you rip the same disc twice do the tracks have the same hash across both rips (just include the logs here if you're not sure what to look for)?
Have you got a different cable you could try, maybe the one you're using for the other drive.
I guess you could try different software, see how that fared (XLD if you're on a mac or EAC/CUERipper if you're on Windows).

I can't see that drive in the CD Drive Accuracy listings, which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing; I think it means there has been less than 4000 submissions from 40 users.

in CD Ripper Settings, untick "use C2 error checking" if this is ticked.

I think that's what Spoon was testing for when he asked FaxMachine to try a Burst mode rip.

good point.

Can confirm C2 isn't checked

Thanks Simburn, I'll try what you suggest and report findings

I did the rip several times (tried different cable too)and the CRC values were always the same -

Used CUERipper, the log suggests that all tracks were accurately ripped - eg "Accurately ripped (confidence 62) [7057017E]"

I then used PerfectTunes AccurateRip option to check the files, the below log shows CUERipper files, then dBpoweramp files

Drive seems to be okay with CUERipper, but not with dbpoweramp!

[simbun]

Interesting!

I've not seen PerfectTunes logging before, so I don't know what it means that some of the tracks from CUERipper are said to have a 0 offset and some -29. I have to assume that's a PerfectTunes issue as I've had no problems with CUERipper before (or it's just the way it presents the data). If you run CUETools against the CUERipper rip to verify against AccurateRip and CTDB I assume the tracks all group under the same offset, as you should be able to see in the log generated from the CUERipper rip itself (*.accurip).

Do you have any DSPs active in dBpoweramp CD Ripper? Having said that I'd assume any AccurateRip verification would happen before any of the DSPs were applied.

I think at this point it's probably over to the dBpoweramp team to investigate.

I used the CUETools to check against accuraterip as you suggested and the rips were good.
I also installed EAC and got good accuraterip files from that software.

It's clear to me there is something not right with dbpoweramp paired with this drive, hopefully the support team will be able to help.
Thanks Simbun for your advice on testing this.

No problem, I just hope the support team can help.
