It is the purist’s scalpel, a software that digs into a CD’s plastic substrate, reading every pit and land not once, but twice, to ensure that not a single vibration of the original master is lost to jitter or scratch.

You don’t just hear the fear; you feel the latency of the studio microphone warming up. stands for Exact Audio Copy
