Those things sound like nonsense, from: http://www.activewin.com/reviews/har...features.shtml

new audio data writing mode that basically produces CD-R with less jitter

since pits are longer the CD player’s lens receives more reflected information for each pit
Both would be true if CD work like gramophone records. But they don't. It's either a 0 or a 1. I'm not sure what "more reflected information" a CD player is supposed to receive. The same applies to jitter. The jitter isn't read from the CD, it's introduced by your listening equipment.

Now you may be wondering if the human ear can hear the difference between an Audio Master recorded CD and a normal written CD. The answer is definitely yes. Indeed the Audio Master recorded CD reproduced, on our Yamaha HiFi system, a much clearer and accurate sound than the same music CD recorded normally.
Since it's not mentioned how the test if performed, II think it's safe to assume it's not a blind test, meaning it's a useless test.

I think this is one that should be added to: http://web.archive.org/web/200702091...audiophile.htm
