CD ripping software to get the most out of Beresford TC-7520 DAC

[admin_exported]

Hi
A fine point was made in another thread regarding the quality of lossless rips which can vary. I use Exact Audio Copy to extract WAV files. I find that it produces fine sounding rips. What have the rest of you been using. I would be grateful for your feedback (-:

Lossless is lossless.

I use iTunes and Apple Lossless, and have used a file comparator to confirm that these files are identical to an EAC WAV, when extracted.

I use dBPoweramp. It's nice and easy to use and does batch conversions between formats too.

Apple lossless (ALAC) or 256k AAC (VBR) in iTunes with 'correction' switched on.

Anything that does perfect rips.

EAC - slow but free

DBPOWERAMP - quicker but will cost you money for secure rips.

There's a few people going on about codecs. That's not what's being asked though..

Itunes with error correction on. I tried dbpoweramp with Accuraterip to rip one CD that where itunes could not manage 4 of the tracks and it could not manage 5 of the tracks. CD binned as it was a jumble sale buy.
