If your strictly interested in best quality audio cd burning, Yamaha is the best choice. It has an audio master mode that burns larger and more precise lands and pits. I just replaced my 8x Plexwriter with a Yamaha 3200. I use it only for burning audio cd's. I suppose it does well as a general purpose burner as well, but I have an Liteon 24x for general use. The only problem that I found with the disc burned from Yamaha is reading problems in DVD players. Otherwise the cds burned on Yamaha actually sound better than those burned 4x on my old Plextor(considered to be the best audio burner ever built). There is actually test evidence to back up my subjective opinion. Nerospeed actually shows better readibility of disc burned with Yamaha's audio master mode. Whatever you end up buying, DO NOT use burnproof or other buffer underrun protection for audio cd's. The gaps that are on disc do cause ticks and tracking problems.
