EAC & Drive Offset

So are optical drives getting better and thus no offset? I just built this computer. I kept my burner but got a new dvd drive. I never ripped cds using my burner so I never determined my offset for the drive before.

So, since I had a new drive that the offset needed to be determined I figured may as well do my burner. Funny thing, Both drives had no missing or extra samples and therefore no offset. I find this strange, 2 drives from different manufacturers bought 15 months apart.

So here's the procedure I used, and the same I've always used and the same as my goggling found.

1. Decode shn or flac set to wav
2. Burn cdr
3. rip newly created cdr
4. use eac to compare wavs. Original wav from flac 1st in the compare

I had a real old version of eac at first. Thought that could be problem. I installed the latest version and same results. Do I actually have 2 drives with no offset?

Any ideas?

Thanks!!!
