"but everytime I rip this track the CRC is different (using the plextor 121032A drive). I've tried lowering extraction speed, burst mode ... it's always the same. If I compare the .wav files from different extractions, there are 1-5 different samples at various locations (always in the music parts of the track not in silence). There are a few positions where EAC's error correction kicks in (red lights ...) but it seems to happen at different positions each time. "
Doesn't this imply (assuming now that the pressing is OK and there are no scratches) that the way CDS200 destroys CD Audio information may result in non-deterministic reading results?
I mean, how is it possible to get different results with every read, using the same drive and settings?
Either
A) Disc is defective (pressing bad, scratches, smudges)
B) The drive is bad (it's not deterministic even on totally faultless discs)
C) The copy protection causes some things to be undeterministic in the read and/or C2 correction process
D) Or some combination of the above together
I mean, does somebody know the itty bitty details of CDS200 so well that one can for sure say that it destroyes the readability of an Audio track in a deterministic manner in all drives?
Sorry to drag this along, but I don't understand how Tigre's results are any proof one way or another. Maybe there is something I don't know / understand?
