What Are Your DBpoweramp Settings?
I just downloaded DBpoweramp for my Mac to RIP CD's. Just tried ripping the MQA CD's I just purchased and getting errors on a couple of the tracks.
I'm using the "Ripping Method" settings "Secure (Recover Errors)" When I change to "Burst (Fastest Ripping, No Error Recovery)" all is good. The CD's themselves appear to be perfect. No scratches or scuffs. |
Paul-
While I am not an expert, I set the recovery errors to 160 with a max time of 20 minutes. If there are more, I'm not interested in the rip. Sometimes, using a different CD ROM will rip better. I use a 2008 MacPro with a newly installed DVD as well as a portable usb plug as a back up. Also, cleaning the CD with a bit of Windex can help. My rips are CD's, 44.1 many borrowed from public libraries and some are messy. Always listen. A few errors may not be noticeable. |

I replaced the USB cable and all is good. :thumbsup: |
I ripped a CD using dbpoweramp twice, one with a single fast pass and a second using multiple passes. If there was a difference I could not tell them apart. I now go with lossless Level 1, unless there is a major issue.

Ran DBpoweramp for the first time last evening and couldn't be more pleased (well....... maybe if it would take the CD out of the jewel case and load & unload into the drive for me ;)). It wouldn't error-check on the first CD (likely not in the error-check library) but did fine on the second. Re-ran the first CD and all was well from there forward. Down to start ripping and downloading FLAC files into my DAP.

Paul.......Using dBpoweramp I rip to FLAC with encoder setting at Level 5. The settings are: Secure, Query Ripping Results with AccurateRip, Cross-Pressing Verification, Send Fingerprints.

I use the same settings as Dan, running on a Mac Air. I used to use an Apple cd drive but would get the occasional error and finally switched to a Samsung external drive, which has been error-free. Not all disc drives are created equal.
