最近又看到一些資訊
Ten Questions about Computer Audio with Vincent Sanders and John Hughes of VRS Audio Solutions

裡面提了10個關於電腦訊源的疑問和看法

其中一個提到關於rip音樂用的軟體還有光碟機對聲音的影響

裡面有提到用macbook的光碟機和iTunes來rip音樂並不是很理想
所以不知道Eton大還有其他用mac的燒友都是用什麼軟體和光碟機來rip音樂以達到最好的效果？:)

3. Let´s move on to ripping. As with the above, there are proponents that claim only certain software, and optical drives for that matter, can "accurately" rip a CD. That they can clearly hear differences between rips via different means; even though the rips are bit for bit perfect. Any thoughts on what is going on here? Is there an advantage to using specific ripping software or drives over another? Say iTunes, WMP, Max or whatever when compared to say EAC?

We are still investigating this subject, so we don't have any definitive results to give at this time. Exact Audio Copy or EAC does produce better sounding rips than iTunes or Windows Media Player. It's pretty easy to do a listening test to determine for yourself. We have had many listening tests with skilled and unskilled listeners, and more than 80% of the time listeners preferred the EAC rips. There are other ripping engines that sound as good or better than EAC as well, like dbPoweramp Ripper, CDex etc.

The CD/DVD drive used for ripping does make a monumental difference in sound quality and the ability to get a bit perfect rip (Secure). We generally like external USB or Firewire connected drives like Pioneer or Teac for ripping. Getting the drive out of the computer case and using it's own dedicated power supply, does tend to make a difference. Also, the drives used in Mac Books are generally poor for ripping, and does not handle the stress of re-reading sectors that bit perfect ripping requires.
