Ripping with EAC
Accuraterip is included with all newer versions of EAC. Choose to install all components of the program (eBay Button optional).

Copy and Paste

People with Vista SP1 can use the WASAPI DLL instead of ASIO and ASIO4ALL, it provides "Bit-Perfect" without the set up hassels associated with ASIO4ALL.
foobar2000
Place the "WASAPI DLL file" in your Foobar2000 Component folder on your harddrive.
foobar2000: Download foobar2000 and optional components
SPDIF can be set at 24bit and the Foobar buffer should be set at less than 1000.
OR
USB should be set at 16bit and the Foobar buffer set at less than 1000.
WASAPI users can stop here, you are ready to rock!!!
Foobar2000 and ASIO4ALL Settings
Download and install Foobar2000 and ASIO4ALL.
foobar2000
ASIO4ALL - Universal ASIO Driver
Be sure to download the "ASIO Support DLL file" and move it to the Foobar Components Folder on your harddrive.
foobar2000: Download foobar2000 and optional components
ASIO4ALL Settings for SPDIF (Set your Buffer Size as low as you can go without having any Glitches during normal use)
<~~Lower Latency~~~~BUFFER~~~~Less Glitches~~>(Mine is set at 196)
ASIO4ALL Settings for USB (Set your Buffer Size as low as you can go without having any Glitches during normal use)
<~~Lower Latency~~~~BUFFER~~~~Less Glitches~~>(Mine is set at 196)(For extreme cases tick the Use Hardware Buffer Box)
Foobar Output Settings (Buffer size is best at lower settings, your mileage may vary)(Mine is set at 500ms)
Volume set to 100 and Preamp set to Zero
DSP (Digital Sound Processors) will prevent "Bit-Perfect" Playback. (Advanced Limiter can be used to prevent clipping. I dont know if this is still considered Bit-Perfect).
ASIO4ALL Settings in Foobar (Use the left mouse button to map and un-map channels. If you wish to prevent foobar from using a specific device then map channels 1 and 2 for that device to <none>. Any devices mapped as channel 1 = left and channel 2 = right will receive a signal when foobar is in use. If you look at my ASIO virtual Devices you can see I have USB and Optical active at the same time, this way I can listen to either one by merely changing the input selector on my dac.)
Windows Audio Control Panel (Its best to NOT make usb your default device when using usb with Foobar so windows sounds are not attempting to use your usb Dac at the same time FOOBAR is). (Exception to this rule is when you want to hear windows audio such as watching movies on youtube etc.)
Windows Audio Control Panel (Choosing "No Sounds" for the sound scheme will prevent windows from interfereing with your Dac as well).
Audio Card Digital Settings (May need to be different according to your dac specifications.)
SPDIF settings (May be different depending on your Dac)
USB Settings, (Always Use 16 Bit 44.100 Hz)
All levels for digital out should be 100 percent in all programs.
Anytime you see a "TEST" button in a control panel. make sure it works, if not then you need to change a setting or two.
Good Luck
Tip: You may want to put a shortcut for your audio control panel on your desktop so you can change outputs quickly, Laptop Speakers, SPDIF, USB, etc. You can do this by going to the control panel and right click the speaker and then click "Create Shortcut". Then you will have a speaker on your desktop.
That will take you to these settings.
