They're not, funnily enough. Well, they may well be identical but they sound
different. 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:

This is a guess, but the NAD is probably copying 'track at once' rather
than 'disc at once'. It may be inserting small breaks between tracks
that shouldn't be there. I've had this issue copying live CDs in track
at once mode, where some software would insert a default break in
between tracks. Switching to disc at once mode solved the problem.

----------
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.

It may be making a perfect duplicate of each track, but it obviously
isn't making a perfect duplicate of the entire disc.
