DAE Tests

- Pressed and CDR AudioCD results

The LiteOn LDW-811s uses 40x CAV strategy for CD-DA. Below is the resultant output from the CDSpeed transfer rate test with a pressed audio CD:

According to CDSpeed, the average reading speed with this disc was 30.80x, while the reported seek times were satisfactory.

We ripped the contents of the same audio disc to the hard disk with CDDAE software. The drive gave an excellent average ripping speed (burst mode) of 39.4x:

For the same test, the Optorite and CyberDrive drives gave 28.5x and 29.4x average speeds respectively.

The same pressed audio disc was copied onto a CD-R and was read again with CDspeed. Again, the LiteOn drive was very fast with an average speed of 39.8x.

- Advanced DAE Quality

In the Nero CD Speed Advanced DAE test, the LiteOn drive posted an average speed of 28.35, only slightly slower than the other two drives, and a quality score of 100. CDSpeed reports that the drive can read Leadin and Leadout data, Cd Text and Subchannel Data.

- Support of 90/99mins AudioCDs

Supports 99min disc

- Reading/Ripping Protected AudioCDs

For the test procedure we used two audio discs with different audio protection schemes. We tested for both recognition and ripping to the hard disk. The software used was Exact Audio Copy.

* Pressed Audio disc protected by Sony Key2Audio (Celine Dion - New Day Has Come)

* Pressed Audio disc protected by Cactus Data Shield 200 (Natalie Imbruglia - White Lilies Island)
