    Ripping 24bit DVD-A to 24bit PCM

    Hi.
    I am new to this forum, I hope I am not asking a frequently asked question. I did my best to search before posting.

    I have a King Crimson DVD Audio at home that I would like to hear at work as well.
    At work I have a good playback system that is capable of playing high bitrate high res audio to a pair of nice studio monitors.
    I don't want to take the DVD-A with me though so I am looking for a way to rip it.

    EVERY ripping software (except one) that I've tried on either my linux, mac or windows machines was able to rip the audio at original sample rate but re-sampled the sample size to 16bits instead of the original 24.
    The only ripping software that worked for me was DVD audio extractor.
    The only problem is that I am not really sure that it didn't re-sampled it to 16bits and then back to 24 (I had to "force" it to 24bits).
    I am simply wondering how come other apps were not able to rip it in 24bits and that perhaps I am missing something in the process (encryption? any other protection on the high bitrate stream? doesn't seem right as there was no 16bit track... Still...)
    I am simply trying to avoid the next step: A tedious a-b comparison between the 16bits rips and the 24bits.

    Thanks in advance.

    Not sure if this really answers your question or if it's current anymore but here's a couple threads on the subject:

      Squeezebox, ripping and other stuff..
      by treytexag
      Jim, at the suggestion of a friend here in Houston, I bought a squeezebox about a month ago. I like it allot, although I have yet to rip all my cd's.

      I'm curious, and sorry about the dumb question, but how does the ripping of the cd's clean up the sound? Do you have to use any certain...

      Lagging WMP Ripping
      by heapatrouble
      So, recently, I've been having problems with WMP being excuciatingly slow ripping CD's - literally taking hours to do a 320kbps rip of a 40-minute cd. I don't believe I have added software which has created a conflict that causes this glacial pace, but, before I lose it and do a clean install of the...

I've seen the DIY ones, but was looking for something with built-in (and accurate) width adjustments. Someone posted a pic of one on here that looked really neat but I can't...

      Ripping DVD's to a Server
      by aud19
      Trying to figure out the best way to rip DVD's to my server for viewing on my HTPC.

      I'm thinking I'd like to keep them in .vob format for quality/backup purposes. So do I just rip them using DVD Shrink or equivalent and that's it? What system are you guys using?

      Anybody...
