Plextor DAE speeds

Anyone know why my brand new (and lovely) Plextor PX-716SA can extract audio way faster than my older PX-W4824A? They are both rated as the same read speed as far as I can tell (upto 48x), but the 716 will extract at 20-30x, while the 4824 will only extract at 8-10x. Settings are the same on extraction for both (using PX-XL) - error detextion is on and speed read is off for both. I am not complaining, I would just like to know why.

Thx.

I have W4824A too and it rips a 20-30x.

Check if DMA is on.

Thanks ... DMA was on in XL but not set in the device manager. Not sure that I am happy that it's sorted, or a tad hacked off that I have been extracting at less than half speed for over 2 years ... oh well ...

Thx.

wow.  i only dream of speeds that fast.  the lg in my laptop (the only drive ive ever tried eac on) has never ripped at more than 6x.  its usually in the 2x to 4x range!  i need a new drive bad...  sigh
