Secure RipNAS
Secure RipNAS models feature Secure Ripping abilities - the process of ripping audio CDs without errors. Errors whilst ripping manifest as either pops, clicks, or extended periods of silence (where the CD drive has substituted the error with silence), rips with errors are sub-optimal. Secure ripping is different, errors are detected, potentially recovered and unrecoverable tracks are separated out, the last thing your speakers need are tracks with speaker damaging pops and clicks.
speaker damaging pop, from insecure rip RipNAS Drive Quality Much attention to detail has gone into the component selection for RipNAS, one important component is the DVD drive - quality of rips depend on the drives ability to read audio without errors. Many in our position might have selected the cheapest drive...not Illustrate, we tested all the main drives on the market. The following link covers the testing and results from each drive tested: http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=17274 When compared against a high end $5,000 CD player, which would give the better quality audio (as measured as not containing errors): RipNAS Secure, or high end CD player? RipNAS Secure would give better results in that CD players are time based and have to deliver audio on demand, this very design results in insecure reproductions, an on demand player is unable to recover errors by re-reading many times. Technologies Employed
C2 Error Pointers The Teac drive was specifically chosen for its implementation of C2 pointers. C2 error pointers allow the CD drive to inform the RipNAS when a section of audio contains an error. Re-Reading CD is read twice, if a section contains an error it will likely return different errors, so can be detected. This is true mostly but not always, consistent errors exist (where the same error is read consistently). |
