I'm using an external LG HL-DT-ST DVDRAM SP80NB80 on a Mac mini to rip CDs. The drive offset is +6. I've been happily ripping away for weeks now. Today, I tried to rip a copy of Vapor Trails (remixed) by Rush, and I get the following error:

So it's telling me that the offset is wrong. I used to get this error all the time before I set the proper offset for the drive.
I downloaded a trial copy of dbPowerAmp for Mac and ripped the CD using that software and it claimed it ripped the CD accurately. dbPowerAmp also set the offset to +6, the same as xld. I'm not familar enough with dbPowerAmp to know if it reports offset errrors or just says that it ripped accurately, if there is an offset errror.
I'm curious if this is a problem with the AccurateRip database and it might have a bad entry for this specific CD. Is there a way to query the database to see the entries for this CD?
Here is the dbPowerAmp log

Does this mean it's just a pressing issue?
The pressing of the CD you ripped wasn't in the database. The audio matched other pressings (https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=AccurateRip#Pressings) that were in the database.
So, does the software automatically adjust for this offset, or does it not matter?
As the link explains, the software just mathematically cross-checks against other pressings that may be in the database.
The audio isn't altered.
Thank you!
