Digital is a very complex technology which doesn't sum up to a following of 0 and 1. There are jitter issues, among others, and an audiophile burner enables to reduce those issues.

Jitter is indeed an issue that affects the SNR of the reconstituted analogue signal and therefore is something that is easily measured and identified empirically. Figures for clock jitter on the ADCs and DACs are well documented (and mathematically predictable - SNR = 20 × log [1/(π × input frequency × Tj)]  where Tj=jitter time). Any figures you have for audiophile burners would be of interest to me, especially in comparison with box-standard transports.

Uhm, it was my understanding there weren't going to be any math questions in this thread. LOL
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Oh, yes, I certainly think it does. I burn at 16x, never faster.

So: find a way to get rid of the need for CD-R ... you'll also help protecting the environment by producing less plastic garbage.


Not everyone has a new car with USB/SD card interfaces. And heck, some people even use boomboxes to play CD-Rs.
