Tested CD: The Chemical Brothers "Big Your Own Hole" - Track 10
Test Method: I used EAC v0.81b & AudioGrabber v1.40 to test audio capabilities. Also compared it with Teac and Plextor.
Comparing Method:
- Ripped Track10 of the CD with Drag & Drop (using CDFS) and with all
the other CD Rippers.
- Edited all wavs with Hedit v2.0.04 and located the 2 following bytes "EA
68" (chosen randomly)
- Removed all previous bytes and saved.
- Then in a Dos window compared them using: FC /b x.wav y.wav
