I had several friends send me PC ripped files to me. and they all sounded different. some worse than others.
The best one was PC ripped with EAC ( exact audio copy which mac doesn't support gracefully with iTunes )
Even with this jitter checking program, custom setting rather than using default was the best one.
Sadly, iTunes I use is not that great. A geek friend sent me a freeware EAC that sort of kind of work with mac. ( using toaster, if i recall )
but the pisser is that its user interface is not good as iTunes to access and archive the tunes. Not to mention the whole procedure was barbaric.
so, i gave up on 'making a perfect copy' for a time being. The whole excersise became too 'geeky' for me. It's still pretty far from playing an original CD from my cd player.
