Re: This is the first thing one should do...

For music acquisition: Alcohol 120%. Rip the audio to the PC's local drive. Then run UltraISO to convert the Alcohol image files to .wav files and store on the external drive. (A 500 GB drive should store music from about 750 CDs in non-compressed .wav format. And if you run out of space, just swap it out for another one. The Alcohol files are initially stored to the local drive because the conversion won't "multitask" the external drive, possibly injecting jitter into the data.) The data is bit perfect (identical to file ripped directly from EAC or dBPowerAmp), and produces superior fidelity.

Todd, this is really confusing. Why the need for all these steps? Why not just use eac?

Also, how can bit perfect identical files produce superior fidelity?
