I have almost all CDs by bands such as Metallica, Megadeth, Blind Guardian, Iron Maiden, etc. If you have some heavy metal CDs, give me a few titles and if I have them, I'll redo the test with the ASUS drive to compare. I realize those are obscure discs though, so if you want me to redo the test with more common CDs, let me know.

Sacrifice - Put Her On The Altar (Devil's Metal 2008)

Wench - A Tidy Sized Chunk (MetalCore Records 1990) Rottrevore - Iniquitous (Drowned Records 1993) I can post the results if needed to convince you. Yeah, I'd appreciate if you could reset the offset for this drive.Īll three discs were verified accurately with a Lite-On drive, LTC-48161H with firmware KH0R. Īll drives should have the same offet, but is that true even after a firmware upgrade? Track 19 - CRC matching 58bf8f97 ĪccurateRip will not key to this offset as it miss-matches the drive database offset. Track 10 - CRC matching 4b8f25ef įinding Offset for D:\ - 19 Tracks Track 11 - CRC matching c5dae206 ĪccurateRip needs to verify the offset generated, for this it needs 3 Key Discs that give the same offset, please insert another 'Key Disc'. Here is the AccurateRip log I took inside the ApplicationData/AccurateRip folder :įinding Offset for D:\ - 11 Tracks I also tried on a different computer with an evaluation copy of dbPowerAmp R14, and the exact same scenario repeats itself. I thought the offset detection mechanism using three key discs was there specifically for cases like that. Why isn't AccurateRip letting me use the +6 offset even though it is verified? I understand the value is different than the one in your database, but that's probably because the firmware on my drive is different, maybe because of a different hardware revision of the unit or whatever. However, AccurateRip refuses to use the detected offset, even though it was verified three times, because the one stored in your database is different than mine (+103 instead of +6). Then, I had to repeat with two more key discs, which gave the same results as well. Upon my first use of the drive, it told me to use a key disc for offset verification, which I did. However, AccurateRip isn't letting me configure the newest drive I bought for my laptop, which is an external ASUS SDRW-08D2S-U (firmware seems to be C102) that is connected via USB. I've been using AccurateRip with Exact Audio Copy for a few years now, and except for an older ASUS drive that returned different offsets each time thanks to a 'buggy' firmware, I didn't encounter any issues configuring it on my other drives.
