DAE quality report on Toshiba SD-R5372 Options

[exec]

As stated here, I've tested my drives with the DAE quality test from the EAC homepage.

Further explanations about the test procedure can be found here, so here are the facts about the Toshiba SD-R5372:

Conclusion
The Toshiba SD-R5372 does a pretty good job when it comes to DAE. When you look at the graphs, it seems that dirt on a disc (simulated by the printed triangle on the test disc) gives the drive more problems than scratches, which were handled equally well with the different drive speeds.
