Think that if you put inscriptions on your CD to recognize it and if you stack the CD so marked in the box, the ink may damage the CD placed immediately above ... Anyway, stack burned CDs or waiting etching, each under pressure from the other, more or less spoil some of them; this is definitely not a good solution. Part of the savings made by buying a large amount of blank CD without housing and instructions will be lost if you have to buy empty boxes, even if there are cheap in groups of 25. So far, I have used CD without individual housing for three reasons: when I had to make a damaged CD; when part of a CD was useless due to the purchase of a box containing what I had already reproduced; finally to create silage CD, ie containing short pieces copied from Windows Media that I added to complete CD obtained from Roxio. So I have not had to stack them in a box like this, and I never will. With 100 CD, I am equipped for long ...
Now I admit to not being able to say if the quality of the reproduction depends audibly brand. However, it heavily depends on how you set your reproductive system. Even if it's off-topic, I give you my way to get optimum quality. My computer has Roxio on which I create "Easy Audio CD", adding one track that I wish to as music.
In "Advanced", I selected "disable Autorun function of the system," I have not changed the cache memory (or cache), I mainly limited to 7x drive speed to slow up CD creation (be careful, if you check your options when no blank CD is placed in the "F", the machine shows 48x, but that does not mean you have to readjust your system: your choices are Registered stably).
In "CD audio" I refused "normalize tracks at a constant level" and "reduce background noise by using pre-emphasis."
Finally, "copy", I chose "enabled on the hard drive for better quality (slower)" and I have not driven the RAW mode.
These settings are automatically applied even if I set an overall CD instead of a track by track program. By checking ear (right, of course) from a Philips 723 player, a fairly accurate Nad amp and a Sennheiser HD 595 headphones Sennheiser - HD595 - stereo headphones open, I've realized that reproduction quality was much better than that achieved previously with the default settings of the same creator or with Windows Media Creator is quite slow but hardly allows custom settings. It's really very clear. Of course, you do not get quite the quality of the original CD, but you approach it. I used to checking the quality of audio cassettes and I got blinded hierarchy that gave specialized magazines with their frequency curves and SNR: so I can feel that my ear is credible, even if it took twenty five years since; the process I give here will enable you to create high quality CD to the default standard, if you do not already use. After 29 reviews, I could not add anything to the product, but I hope this helps to something.
