Does USB quality matter when ripping CDs?
Most of my music lives on external hard drive and is plugged into Oppo 105D. Replaced cheap USB cable with Supra 2.0. Amazing difference in playback. I need to make a copy of this hard drive for safety. This means 2 external hard drives hooked to laptop. I only have 1 Supra USB. Does USB quality matter when moving data from one hard drive to another? Or does it only matter for playback. I don't want to copy 2tb of files and do it wrong. Should I get a second cable for archiving?
Thanks,

When copying a file, error checking is in place and it will keep correcting until the new file is bit-for-bit the same as the old file. May take a while. (Streaming you don't have time for this so bits get dropped.). In your title, you mentioned ripping, which is different than copying and frankly I don't know if it is bitperfect or not. But you described a file copy operation which should get you bitperfect copies of the files on the disk. Jerry |
