I inclined to believe this is all non-sense. Did ever someone hear a difference or compare hashes and got sometimes an error and sometimes not?

- sandreas 4y agoAuthor here, I did (personally). CD: The Weeknd - The Highlights Drive: Pioneer BDR-XD05TB (not listed in my article) Accurate Rip reported errors on 3 Tracks. Ripping with hp GUE1N flawlessly worked on the first try. Although I also doubt that the error would be audible, but I have a better feeling if the hashes are correct.
- rossy 4y agoI did it with a simple program that just issued READ CD commands to the drive using SCSI passthrough and saved the first ten minutes of the disc to a raw PCM file. Running that program twice produced two files that sounded the same to me, but had different hashes (and it wasn't a "sample offset" issue either.) The disc had no visible scratches, and it was the same drive that I'd ripped half my music collection from with EAC, so that experiment was solid evidence for me of what the proponents of secure ripping software like EAC keep saying, which is that read errors when burst-ripping on consumer drives are very common.
