I'd assume this is the one to use for a 'perfect' CD copy on to DVD? It
goes on:


--- Toast records PCM at 48 kHz / 16 bit levels, which is higher than
standard CD quality, and exceeds the levels of most songs in your iTunes
library.



If you are wanting to make 'perfect' copies of audio CD data, then the snag
with the above is that it implies the information is sample-rate converted
from 44.1 to 48 ksamples/sec. This conversion may be done so well that any
degredation is inaudible/irrelevant, but it won't be a 'bit identical'
copy.

Slainte,
