Too funny.

lol

The ASUS is not all it's said to be as it doesn't read protected DISCs and also there seems to be a problem with EAC where it extracts fast the first time but on the second it's a half speed.

I have exhausted most simple solutions and the PC is a Abit KT7A 1.2ghz 512mb memory Windows XP and is dedicated to audio extraction which nothing else runs in the background.

Note a friend is having the same problem but he runs Windows 2000.

All IRQs and common stuff like that are isolated it seems to be a problem between the ASUS and EAC.

Still not impressed with the ASUS I will look for something else in the future. This may serve as a warning to all as the ASUS drive is greatly promoted here; but beware it's real world performance with EAC is somewhat less than great.

Real Solutions are Welcome. . .

can you get more specific cause i´ve never heard that kind of prob and eliminator has both drives and still prefers ASUS one, there must be something wrong there man!

Gee Flyer22 I thought that I was fairly specific but I see that you have a keen eye for the obvious(man) - What the 22 for IQ? Please try harder.

if anyone out there uses the Asus 52x CDROM drive and EAC, please give your experience - did you experience any difficulties?

SORRY wildjim if you´re so good with PC´s try it HARDER, why do you even come here!?? if you so great handling your machine!! Jerk!


Sorry to all the other members but these posts are really annoying!! lol

You tell him boy!! Okay, its really none of my business.

lolllllllllll no prob

This will be a rambling post, maybe not what the exactly what the current discussion entails, but here goes:

I use the Asus 52x with the latest version of EAC (09b4). I am using lame v. 3.92 as the encoder. I am in the process of re-ripping all my cds (the 1st time I did them at 128 kbps and now I am doing them at 192 VBR. Is this necessary? I don't know, but I just feel like doing it.

I have had no problems as far as encoding goes. I believe there are rippers out there that are faster than EAC, but speed is not the most important factor to me. I may be mistaken, as I don't watch the program at work all the time, but I would rather have a slower program that gives better sounding audio than one that rips faster and may have to try and recover from more errors.

I often put a cd in, start up EAC, and use one of my other machines for 15-20 minutes. I will try and check on this within the next few days with some numbers if I can.

BTW, I think ASUS rules, not just the CD-S520, but their mobos as well. I am quite happy with the DVD E-616 as well. Does anyone have any experience with their video cards, GeForce 4 Ti4200, 4400, or 4600?

those are Nvidia chipsets which are mounted in asus or other graphic boards, i haven´t had the pleasure of meetting those guys, YET

I cant decide between the asus S520 and the Teac CD552E.
Did anyone test the S520 with badly scratched CD's?
