My experience is that dBpoweramp did a better job on some bad CDs than JRiver. dBpoweramp finished but with errors. JRiver never finished. But, it was only 2 CDs so it is hard to generalize. My guess is that it is going to depend on the particular CD.

Totally agree that in some cases dbpoweramp can perform better.. I don't think we can generalize....  I like to have the option to use the 2.  There might be ways to customize dbpoweramp to do a better job than JRiver for specific CDs with specific drives...It is highly "tweakble"...

dBpoweranp has a FLAC lossless uncompressed setting. Also can be set to auto detect HDCD that will decode to 24 bit with a +6dB choice to align 20 bit result in upper 24 bit range. I have used both rippers and both are current. dBpoweramps outperforms JRiver in all areas of ripping for my self. I have ripped over 7500 CDs via dBpoweramp during the years. + Linn says to use it  :P
