unless I accept the sonically transparent idea (for a committed Replay Gain user, that is) of allowing my ripper to do what an HDCD-compliant player does to redbook CDs, and bit-shift all my audio by one-bit to the right, halving its represented amplitude (easily fixed with a volume control or ReplayGain) and turning it into identical 16-bit audio in a 24-bit wrapper, where the lowest 7 bits and the highest bit will be zero padding. I've now been able to test a HDCD pretty thoroughly to see if I can find suitable settings in the undocumented, and therefore potentially unimplemented areas of settings.txt If it turns out not to be possible I won't lose sleep over it and will just put up with undecoded HDCD, which I suspect will be pretty darned transparent and enjoyable to listen to. I don't really believe any quality claims that HDCD would be audibly better than the same content if it had been mastered to flat 16-bit PCM (or for that matter, less than 16-bit, as I'm quite happy with lossyWAV -5), so I'm mostly interested in features that might be audible, such as reversing the baked-in peak-limiting, known as peak extension (though I'm not sure I could ABX it once level-matched, but I'd rather correct for it if I can, especially as I might wish to discard the LSBs that signal HDCD is present by using lossyWAV or other lossy rather than lossless). Wikipedia suggests that only a few thousand HDCDs are available, so it represents a small proportion of CDs. (I don't know whether CUETools can deal with PRE-emphasis, but hope it may be noted in CUEsheets if nothing else). If that fails to indicate a secure rip, or we can see in advance that the disc isn't in AR or CTDB, secure mode is also available for peace of mind.Īs I've mentioned before I'd quite like a ripper that will detect and decode HDCD discs if I come across them, and ideally detect and correct those rare early PRE-emphasised CDs with non-flat EQ, which I don't think I've ever played. I like CUERipper, especially as it can rip most CDs very quickly with little wear on my optical drive in Burst mode and verify them with AccurateRip or correct small errors via CTDB and it can handle HTOA. Two different AccurateRip ID's, two different results. CUETools would not include the CD-Extra data track and calculate a different AccurateRip ID (if my math is correct, I calculated by hand).In batch modes like Drag'n'drop however, popups are disabled so you cannot choose. If the INPUT were set to Folder Browser mode at file level, CUETools would display a popup window allowing you to choose which log file to use. On encode, CUETools will see two similarly named log files and not know which one to use.On verify, CUETools will parse the rip log file, adjust the AccurateRip ID to include the CD-Extra data track and write the similarly named log file to the source folder.log and have CUETools set to write that file in the source folder on verify. Now let's say you decided to rename the accurip log file to end in.On verify, CUETools will parse the rip log file and adjust the AccurateRip ID to include the CD-Extra data track.
