The cable is already arrived…Very fast delivery for Europe!
This cable is a very good product. It’s very well building, and very good for the music on my Weiss AFI-1.
Thank you, and best regards.
Mathieu

I was astonished to receive my Firewire cable in Chicago within three working days, sent by courier, and I’m delighted with its appearance and sound, running between MacBook Pro (with Amarra) and DAC2. Thank you. John Wilkinson

Comment on CAS 5: CD Ripping by DWi

PS. XLD (X Lossless Decoder) seems to be the preferred ripper for Mac OS now.

And anyone who thinks iTunes is as good as secure rippers … Well, your loss. The point of a secure ripper is that if it reports no errors after ripping, you can be fairly secure (no ripper can guarantee 100%) that your rip is error free. iTunes offers no such security, which is why it and other non-secure rippers are not favoured.

@audioengr

How can offsets change the sound of audio? If you cut off the first second of a CD (ie. first second of the first song), will the rest of the CD sound different? Of course not! You just miss out on the first (few) note(s).

While it is good to be offset corrected, far too much importance have been placed upon offset correction. The author of EAC (Andre) did his best to ESTIMATE what “point zero” should be, but by no means should it be considered to be absolutely correct. At best, “point zero” (ie. when the offset is corrected) is good so that all CD rips, from different rippers, have a common point of reference.

(All other rippers that support offset correction, and AccurateRip, are based on EAC’s point zero.)

Comment on CAS 8: iTunes PC Bit Transparent @ High Resolution by Jim

Hi, I am using iTunes 9 with Windows 7 and Weiss Dac202. I have followed your instrunctions to get but transparent output (WASAPI and proper output format selected on quicktime; volume set to max, eq and DSP features off on iTunes) but, still, I do not pass the bit transparency check implemented in Dac202 (I get a flashing fail / 16bit indication when testing with the 16bit/44.1kHz file and simply fail when testing with higher resolution files).
