They're not, funnily enough. Well, they may well be identical but they
sound different.
Then surely they are not identical?
I have a NAD 660 and the copies often vary in length (only a
couple of seconds), and every so often there's a glitch between
continuous
tracks (such as live albums, DSOM etc) when using the direct dub.
According
to the many reviews I read before buying, the NAD is pretty good. This is
the reason given to me by the NAD people:
----------
Sorry there is no cure for the problem, and it is normal on the C660 as
with
many other makes and models I am told.
The Bit copy is making a perfect duplicate - it is the track information
that is causing the "Glitch" to appear in the copy.
--------------
Sounds very much like a design fault to me. No (non broken) £40 PC drive
would do this.
A perfect copy should include a perfect copy of the track information as
well as the music.
