DAE Tests
- Pressed and CDR AudioCD results
The Toshiba drive uses 24x CAV reading strategy for CD-DA. Below you can see the results from the CDSpeed transfer rate test with a pressed audio CD:
According
to Nero CDSpeed, the average reading speed was 18.50x, while at the end
of the reading procedure reached the 24.46x speed. The seek times are
good.
We ripped the contents of the same audio disc to our hard disk, using the CDDAE software. The average ripping speed (burst mode) of 17.5x, was very low.
The same pressed audio disc was copied onto a CD-R and was read again with CDspeed.
Again, Toshiba returned the same times, being slower than the other two drives.
- Advanced DAE Quality
In the Nero CD Speed Advanced DAE test, the Toshiba drive returned an average speed of 17.41x, which is a good performance, and a quality score of 100. According to CDSpeed the drive can read Cd Text and Subchannel Data but this is not the case for Leadin and Leadout.
- Support of 90/99mins AudioCDs
The Toshiba drive managed successfully to rip and play the contents of the 99min test disc. With the 90min disc there were some audible clicks while playing back the last two songs.
- Reading/Ripping Protected AudioCDs
For the test procedure we used two audio discs with different audio protection schemes. We performed the tests for both recognition and ripping to the hard disk. The software used was Exact Audio Copy.
* Pressed Audio disc protected by Nec Key2Audio (Celine Dion - New Day Has Come)
* Pressed Audio disc protected by Cactus Data Shield 200 (Natalie Imbruglia - White Lilies sIsland)
