dBpoweramp “Interpolate Unrecoverable Errors” option - Questions...

Hi there

I'm using DBPA to rip CDs.  I have the Interpolate Unrecoverable Errors option off, because I was told that it is best to let the drives manage interpolation; not the software. But I have also read that when the drive Interpolates it uses silence where there are errors. I've been doing a lot of ripping, and when there are errors I have a listen back to the track in question. I do sometimes hear clicks and pops. Should I be hearing them if silence is used? Or have I misunderstood?

Also, how can I be sure that the drives are interpolating? Do they do this automatically or is do I need to do something?

The drives I have are:

- Plextor PX-716AL
- Pioneer DVR-215

Any help most appreciated. Many thanks.

Max

Depends on the type of error, if there is a large area of damage then pops and clicks will occur.

Interpolation really only applies to a handful of samples which need silencing.
