The error correcting of CD ripping apps is highly overrated ... most of the work is actually done in the drive and is just mandatory processing described by the disc format.

Did you get your CDs from the public library? Only badly scratched discs will give uncorrectable errors. Most discs can be read perfectly fine (100% accurate) with almost all CD drives.


My point was that HD stored music done right can get u better sound than from CD.
This is also a point Meridian makes! Soolos hooked up to 808.2i playing the same CD - it seems that u get a bit more detail from the Sooloos combo than playing straight from the CD with the 808.2i
