what I've gathered and what Chris recommended for me was DB Poweramp.
I ripped 540 cds(7,240)songs on a weekend.
Dbpoweramp is very user friendly and it tells you if certain tracks were ripped accurate or not and you can re rip the ones that are not.
That's without disrupting the set list you were ripping.
This was my first time getting into this side of digital and I do not miss my cdp.
I also use the BDA-2 and BDP-2 and I'm more than satisfied,especially for convenience and sound quality.
They say the DB is very good,and for me if the sound was any less than the cd I'd look for another ripper.
To me it is superb

Chris also recommended a Gigabit switch which makes ripping a lot faster.
