In Reply to: Toshiba 3960 is not bit perfect posted by suits_me on May 5, 2005 at 11:20:33:
There was a thread at head-fi where someone recorded the output of the Toshiba and found the same thing - not bit-perfect. This one *seemed* to be applying the de-emphasis curve (or maybe the emphasis curve - I'm not sure which way it goes). Since you should never apply the curve at the transport, this is odd to say the least (to say nothing of the fact that the CD didn't use emphasis).
Once again, this was a single-sample test, so who knows how widespread it is. I have one upstairs but it's for dvd only, and I haven't been motivated enough to check.
