I've got a Teac 532E at home and two other ones at my job and they all do
the same noise. So don't worry about it.
And I consider Teac drives are the best ones. They are fast, reliable,
silent, and can read any CD, wherever they come from.
But the 532E are not that fast in DAE (not much more than 4x with the 3.0a
firmware - with the last firmware Teac has reduced the audio extraction
speed to get a better quality). Could you tell me whether your 540 is better
about it or not ?
Thanks

You can select 4x, 16x and 32x DAE with the Teac 532 AFTER you ran the Teac
Speed utility which can be downloaded from their firmware page.
The Teac 540 can also do DAE at full speed which is 40x.

I don't think so. With the soft you're talking about, you can select the CD
max speed, not the DAE speed.

No, with this program you can set the DAE limit to 10x,16x and 32x which is
by default 4-10x.
From the German Teac firmware page:
"This Firmware makes it possible to use the Speed-Utility, for increase the
Audioextractionsspeed. The Speed-Utility is included."
Trust me I've done this with the Teac 540E which was also limited to 4-10x
DAE before I changed it with the speed utility.
Now it's screaming at 40x!

I got it to do 17x-40x after alot of pain. Nero seems to does it, but it
has some problem with EAC. The extraction appears to be occuring at 150x+ speed
and there is a timing error from 0.00 to end of the track. The generated file
does take space on your hard drive, but they are nothing but silence.

I use EAC only for extremely badly damaged discs.
For all other discs I use CD DAE 99 which also verifies the quality but
makes no attempt to repair the tracks if errors are found.
But it took me a while also to get it to extract at 17-40x.

Without the utility that DAE speed is x4 - with it, it is x32. Unless they
have fixed the utility recently, there is a bug in the original code that
requires a manual setting to its INI file. This is explained in the readme
that accompanies it. The utility does not work under Windows 2000.

Does its face plate kinda interfere with placing a CD on the tray? I've
seen some CD's that are larger in diamater maybe by 500ľm(half a mm) and it
gets stuck on the flange thing(I'm not talking about the white clip thing) on
my face plate. This is an HP version BTW and it looks ugly gray. I had to
remove the face plate and grind off the flange. Now everything is much better.

I can't find any reference to this ini mod in the download file. What
is it?

The relevant bit is:
[ How to Change the Read CD-DA Speed ]
(1) After installation is completed, run the Teac5324.exe program.
An initial settings file is generated.
(C:\Windows\Teac5324.ini)
Now, quit the Teac5324.exe program
(2) Using a text editor such as Notepad, open the Teac5324.ini file.
Change the speed setting parameter.
(Refer to "How to Edit the File" below.)
After changing the parameter, save the Teac5324.ini file by
overwriting it.
(3) Run the Teac5324.exe program again.
Quit the Teac5324.exe program and restart Windows.
The changed settings file will now be in effect.
The changed contents are written directly to your CD-ROM drive and
stored in memory.
To change the setting again, repeat steps (2) and (3).
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [How to Edit the File] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The contents of the Teac5324.ini file are shown below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Config]
Comment 532=532EB CD-DA Speed=x4:4(Default),x16:16,x32:32 <-- Comment
string
Comment 532=532S/E/EA CD-DA Speed=x4:4(Default),x16:16,x32:32 <-- Comment
string
Comment 524=524EA CD-DA Speed=x4:4(Default),x16:16,x24:24 <-- Comment
string
CD-DA Speed=4 <--- Read CD-DA Speed setting
parameter
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please input a Read CD-DA Speed value you want in the right side of the
above CD-DA Speed= line to overwrite and save.
If you do not input anything, the default read speed of each model will be
set.
For example, to set the Read CD-DA Speed to x16...
CD-DA Speed=16
Read CD-DA Speed values supported by each model are as follows:
CD-532EB : x4, x10, x32
CD-532EA/E/S : x4, x16, x32
CD-524EA : x4, x16, x24
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Therefore the content of the ini file to achieve 32x DAE potential is:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Config]
532EB CD-DA Speed= x4:4,x10:10(Default),x32:32
532S/E/EA CD-DA Speed=x4:4(Default),x16:16,x32:32
524EA CD-DA Speed= x4:4(Default),x16:16,x24:24
CD-DA Speed=32
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note that 32x is the maximum potential speed, it will not be quite this fast
in real life.
