OK, sorry. You didn't answer the question about uncompressed wav though
On a pristine pressed CD ripping to uncompressed wav, in digital secure mode, I'll get about 10X on the first track, about 17X in the middle, and about 24X on the last track.
In digital large buffer, it will run 16X, 30X, 38X.
Encoding is a whole other story...
