Plextor Premium2 AMQR & GigaRec
Reply #8 –
No, I am not interested in GigaRec for more data but for better quality i.e. longer pits and lands (=less jitter). So you would agree that AMQR would be equivalent to GigaRec 0.85X? If so. why does Plextor bother with this thing called AMQR? Keep it simple, keep it GigaRec.. Plextor, what's your game?
An educated guess ... AudioMasterQualityRecording sounds good to geeks who still believe that Yamaha F1 burns gave better definition in the bass (or whatever) ... and it had to be licensed from Yamaha. Plextor pays royalties for it and thus gives it a well-known name.
GigaRec, on the other hand, automatically implies the word "Gigabyte" which implies overburning rather than burning quality.
