So I've finally gotten somewhere with burning from Wavelab... I suppose the problem was with the pioneer dvdr-108 burner. I'm using a borrowed external and having succes, sorta. For some reason, I'm getting a split second gap between track(chapter) 1 and track 2. No other audible gaps are heard when I listen to the rest of the disc. Not a horribly bad thing as the first track is generally a lead-in track, but still, its a little odd. I'm guessing that its a setup thing, but I've run through it twice now with the same results...
On another note, my Denon 2900 will output/pass a digital signal with the discs burned in Wavelab. The discs authored in Discwelder Steel(that Damon has sent) will only output the left channel to an external DAC.
