Best Media Player for EAC and/or dBpoweramp?


Which media player has the best synergy with EAC and dBpoweramp?

Or is it mainly about personal preference?

Thanks.

Don't waste your money on new optical drive unless EAC can't get a good rip. And if it can't it's probably due to a disc that is in bad shape. Cheap/generic CD/DVD transports today work just fine with standalone rippers.
Larry,

That was exactly my thinking re. the optical drive. If I am getting perfect copies, as checked by Accurate Rip, then will a different drive make a difference?

I have not tested older, and possibly damaged cds, but the copies of new cds have been perfect on my stock oem drives.

I did see that dBPoweramp recommended Teac based on some comparative work between different drives, but I believe the cds used were defective cds.

Thanks for everyone's feedback.
dB recommends TEAC because most, if not all, Teac drive use C2 pointers for error correction. FWIW
