I'm using the Cayin via i2s (Amir hasn't test it) and I'm pretty sure, that it's bitident.

isnt this already well trodden territory?

if you're reading 0/1 off a CD then really isnt any CDRom drive and your associated software, eg. CDex, going to perform the same every time?

you can test it easily... eg. i have some brand name Pioneer and Sony whatever drives lying around

the tracks you rip should be identical to those ripped off a a no name drive like the one above?

if there were truly a case of 'accuracy' then the data you read off the optical disc would be corrupted in the case of the above drive vs. a brand name drive

to the drive what is the difference between a music file and a large excel sheet? nothing.
It might be prudent to ditch CDex, see the section on Potential Risk at Wikipedia. Other rippers are still freely available - Exact Audio Copy (EAC) is freeware and does an excellent job.
