This Misses the Point.....

"The audio data in a DDP file set are identical both to those on the CD and in the original AIF file. The advantage is that the CD data can be sent to the plant on a CD-R, and are therefore immune to disc reading problems."

This may be very true, but misses the point....

The data I've been dealing with is apparently all identical, be it straight .cda to .wav, straight .cda to .aif, or conversion via FLAC or Monkey's Audio encode/decode. The problem all-along has been the intrinsic jitter associated with both data storage and data conversion. It may be the biggest problem (aside from RFI) in regard to getting decent digital audio playback.

The DDP format is also supposedly the closest to the native .cda format, where the least-strained conversion would likely induce less jitter upon conversion during the burning of CDs.
