- Pressed and CDR AudioCD results

The drive supports up to 40X CAV DAE speed. The following results were reported while using a Pressed Audio CD along with its copy and Nero CD-DVD Speed utility. The results are presented in the graph below along with the results for the other two drives.

Similar performance from all three drives. LG confirmed its specifications, reaching 40X DAE speed.

- Advanced DAE Quality

The following results came from the Nero CD-DVD Speed utility using the advanced feature of the DAE quality test.

The LG and Pioneer drives produced a 100 quality score. The LG drive reported the highest average speed and as can be seen from the screenshot below, the 4167B can read Leadin data, CD Text and Subchannel data, though it can not read Leadout data.

- Ripping 90mins AudioCDs

- Ripping 99mins AudioCDs

Unlike what we are used to seeing with these two media types from the latest drives, the LG managed to successfully rip both the 90 and 99min audio CDs without any drops in speed. Excellent performance once more from the 4167B drive.
