Music reading performance:We still start with the same two programs:
This shot shows the Mitsumi reading a pressed music disc.
And this shot shows the Lite-On reading a pressed music disc.
And now some CD-R music disc tests, we used the CD-Speed advanced Digital Audio Extraction (DAE) test disc for these tests.
And here is a shot showing the Mitsumi reading a CD-R music disc.
And a shot that shows the Lite-On's performance with the CD-R music disc.
Transfer speed:
Mitsumi reading a pressed music disc.
Lite-On reading the same pressed CD-R disc.
Quick summary so far: Take a look and you'll notice that the Mitsumi is a hair faster, but now the Lite-On gives the best seek times.
Nero CD-Speed advanced DAE test:
The Mitsumi gives perfect results.
The Lite-On also gives perfect results, although a bit slower.
And then we tried to rip 25 music tracks from a pressed disc, the total length of the CD was 77 minutes and 58 seconds. The program we used was Exact Audio Copy version 0.9 beta 2.
Detected features:
The Mitsumi, doesn't support C2 error information unfortunately.
TheLite-On supports everything.
| Setting | Mitsumi CR-4809TE | Lite-On LTR-24102B |
| Secure mode | Average 6,4X | Average 5,7X |
| Burst mode | Average 28,2X | Average 25,7X |
Music reading performance summary:While the Lite-On holds the best seek times this time, the Mitsumi is a bit faster. The difference in seek times is not big this time so that's why we give the Mitsumi the thumb up for being the fastest reader at music.

Excellent review! I personally own a mitsumi 4809, and although i do love lite-ons for their excellent EFM burning(i still have my lite-on 12x), the lite-ons in my opinion are not as solidly build as the mitsumi's. One thing i'd like to note is that significantly better burning times were noted when using NTI's cd software. NTI's clock stops right as the drive stops burning(avg of 3:50 burn time for 700 megs), while nero keeps counting all the way until the cd ejects. Maybe some day you can try using NTI's software in your testing. Btw, you guys have the best overall analysis of cd drives on the web... just my 2 cents....

Just one question: why don't you try to read also BAD discs, I mean discs with scratch, dirt and so on... I bought two weeks ago a nice Samsung SW-224. It seams that every horrible disc that I have (audio, CDR and also CDRW) is read as never before! Much better than the burners I tried before: LG 16x, Teac 16x, Artec 24x.
