I noticed that I needed to upgrade my version of EAC, which I did, and I also noticed that I needed to set the offset correction. Unfortunately, my cd drive isn't listed on the AccurateRip list (ASUS - CD-S520/A5) and I keep getting different offset values for Key discs I put in the drive.
Is there a sticky somewhere that I'm missing that helps troubleshoot or explains how to deal with these issues? I have a feeling this isn't the first time these questions have been asked, and the veterans here probably get tired of them....
Thanks for any help
EDIT:
I went back and configured the CD/DVD drive on my PC (I never use it because it pretty much sucks) and was able to get, what I believe is the proper set up rather easily. I did a test rip and the results are as follows:

Now it looks to me that the CRC hashes are the same and legit, I just want to make sure I'm reading this properly. Am I on my way, or is there more work to be done? Any help is appreciated.
