dbpoweramp pro and Teac drive for ripping

This combination was recommended by Vincent I believe as well as used in this device:

You can get dbpoweramp here for $36 (includes all the goodies):

Comparisons of the Teac to other drives:

After proper set-up to do accurate-rip and setting the C2 pointers, i ripped some Led Zep tracks that I had previously ripped using a good CDROM drive and EAC.

The result: The EAC .wav rips are not even close. I thought they were good, but I was wrong. The dbpoweramp .wav rips are highly focused, with improved depth and imaging.

Well worth the less than $100 investment. Best tweak I have done in years. The Teac rips at 10-12X too, so its fast and accurate.

I have customers doing this on a PC and then moving the .wav files to Mac. Its that much better than any other ripper I have tried.

Kudos to Vincent and customer Bill for discovering this.
