I don't use cdda2wav so I can't comment, but every other ripping tool that

once again it appears that your tool is the blacksheep for no good reason.

You should use it as it is even used by people on Win32 because it is the
best DAE program for even badly readable sources.


I'm not an audiophile, I can't tell the difference between a mp3 encoded at
128k and one encoded at 160k so I really doubt I could tell the difference
between what cdda2wav and what most other DAE programs would produce. So
given that the quality of the rips will be effectively equal to my ears,
I'll use whatever's most convenient.

The "quality" or fidelity isn't the issue here, but rather the rip being deterministic and producing the same (as as often as possible, correct) data. Joerg used the "paranoia" library to do the ripping validation, and I'm unconvinced that there is anything better in that regard.

The device names are totally another issue, which I'm not ready to drag around the block yet again.
