Maybe this question should be in the dedicated source section but I thought it best to post here since it was concering a computer company.
I came across this baby:
http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10422
Its a LaCie external drive with firewire out. No doubt far superior to my slot loading mac mini CD/DVD drive. Looks fantastic and no doubt is built like a tank. Infact there is another model a little higher up the chain that even burns an image ontop the top of the CD once recorded.
So anyway I was thinking to maybe use this sucker as a separate source. That is to say. Use it to rip more accurately and to play CDs more acurately.
I'm pretty sure the CD drives we use on our computers dictate how well a programme can use something like say error correction. Also CDROM drives are used by many luxury audiophile companys like Cyrus and Linn. This could prove to be a good transport connected via firewire to my mac and then to my DAC????
What say you??
