I need some help

[nostromo]

There a difference (in quality) between a cd burner and cd recorder?
If I want get high quality music cd , which of them I must use?
Most of professional cd recorders are standalone units with no computer connection as USB or others in order to send (with properly software) a play list to burn.
I search some unit with this feature, but I failed.
Otherwise, I feel no comfortable with any cd burner 'cause I thing none of them are able to give me a perfect and professional music cd.

Some of you guys, could bring me up some light in this matter?

thanks a lot

The sound quality, in raw terms, has nothing at all to do with your CD burner. If you mix "in the box" a CD burner is probably the best transfer you can have. If you go through an analog mix path, you have to use a stand-alone unit.

The "perfect and professional music CD" is dependent on the engineer - not the burner.

To prove that point, take the greatest CD you've ever heard and rip a track off of it to a PCM file, then burn it back to another disc.

Your CD burner will replicate the greatest sounding CD you've ever heard.

It's not the burner - It's the data it's given to burn.

[DISCLAIMER: Yes, a truly bad disc burner may have nasty BLER rates and may cause noises, etc. But for the most part, they put 1's and 0's on a disc the way they're instructed to.]
