It misses gaps sometimes in PR, but that is the only issue I had so far

708 is known to have issues due to a problematic chipset.. You're prolly better of getting a newer version (like 716/755/760) or a CDRW plexwriter if you can

If you have a Plextor you should use Perfectrip to dump the tracks.
In this case you don´t get matching hashes because EAC has a bug (ONLY in discs with one data track and one audio track) that detects always a 0.00 sec gap instead of the true one. So if you add 150 sectors of silence (00's) to the beggining of the extracted track you should get matching results.

Anyway, in this case, you must dump the high density track to verify the dump!

EAC cannot overread into track 2's pregap in a mixed mode CD when combined offset correction is a negative value, even when drive can overread into leadin/out. Moreover, EAC cannot detect any pregap in data track + single audio disc. Two workarounds:

-PerfectRip.

-Another drive with big offset correction value in order to get a positive offset correction value. Then, you have to use a hex editor to prepend 352800 zeroed bytes.

Got a drive capable of the D8 command yet, I'm still having issues getting my Audio Track hashes to match up, was hoping if I posted it here, someone would be able to spot my error if that's possible.

This is for http://redump.org/disc/18028/

Here is my PX_D8.exe read out

Sector: 0
MSF: 00:02:01
Combined offset: -880 bytes / -220 samples

and here is my EAC log

I've went through all my EAC settings a number of times so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, any insight would be great.

Thanks
