J. River Media Center .ape burning to CD

I had to leave for the weekend and this event was on my mind:

I ripped a brand new cd with EAC (in burst mode).

Encoded directly to extra high MAC compression.

I burned direct to cd at 32x & 16x with J. River Media Center.

At the same point on the cd I had 5 seconds of digital white noise, and at another point some more nastiness.

I re-rip the cd with J. River in secure to High MAC compression and burn direct to cd at 16X.

JRiver says all tracks 100% quality except the last one ....94.6% re-read 15 times or something like that; this error was for the last track.

I listened to the entire cd and it's 100% fine.

-------------------------------------------
SO, where did the problem lie? I am inclined to think the initial rip but I was wondering about the extra high compression. I have a 24/96 .ape in Extra High and upon playback in winamp it uses around 20% of the cpu. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Reply #1 –
codec = {de}compress... so it doesn't matter what setting is used with lossless because you can decompress it to source (only variables are time/cycles spent)

the area of error is the rip process.

listen to the source.  compare to compressed.  will be the same.
