Hmmm... I don't hear any noise when I dup CD's with my Nak DMP-100 (16-bit). Maybe I am not listening well enough or the tweaking that Nak requires is worth it (the Nak is a Sony that meets Nak's tolerance specs). Any idea where the noise comes from? Were those CD's digitally mastered? --Cliff [Matthews] {purdue, cmcl2, ihnp4}!lanl!unmvax!cliff {csu-cs, pur-ee, convex, gatech, ucbvax}!unmvax!cliff 4744 Trumbull S.E. - Albuquerque NM 87108 - (505) 265-9143
