DAE Tests

- Pressed and CDR AudioCD results

In this test we test the Philips drive with CD-DA media.

According to CDSpeed the the reading started at 17.54x and finished at 40.99x with an average speed of 30.96x. For one more time we present the access times instead of the seek times.

Below is the average speed produced by CDDAE software, when we ripped the previous disc onto our hard disc. For comparison, we include the Pioneer DVR-SK12D drive for the same task.

- Advanced DAE Quality

In the Nero CD Speed Advanced DAE test, Philips returned an average speed of 28.81, and a quality score of 100. CDSpeed reports that the drive can read CD Text and Subchannel Data but not Leadin and Leadout data.

- Support of 90/99mins AudioCDs

Supports both 90min and 99min discs.

- Reading/Ripping Protected AudioCDs

For the test procedure we used two audio discs with different audio protection schemes. We tested for both recognition and ripping to the hard disk. The software used was Exact Audio Copy.

* Pressed Audio disc protected by Sony Key2Audio (Celine Dion - New Day Has Come)

* Pressed Audio disc protected by Cactus Data Shield 200 (Natalie Imbruglia - White Lilies Island)

Both drives seem to have no problems with either ripping or playback of the two audio pressed discs and their protection schemes.
