No problem.  dBpoweramp is the software tool most closely associated to AccurateRip.

  AccurateRip just provides a database of images/checksums that allows tools that implement it to validate your rip against others to confirm its accuracy.

Seems like a very odd list.  Some venerable brands like Fostex and Denon don't even make the list while quite a few niche brands are included.

Headphones and audio equipment in general are a STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) subject.  Currently, interest in STEM fields is dominated by males. However, as more females choose to focus on STEM in their education, hopefully more will become interested in related hobbies...
