On this test we used a pressed and a CD-R audio disc to test the ripping
performance of the drive. The software we used is the CD-DAE. The LiteOn drive
was faster with the CD-R media and gave back average speed at 31.3x. On the
pressed disc the average speed is 29x.
In the same test, Ricoh MP5240A was slower since it supports 32x CAV DAE.
