Subject:CDA to WAV files - RELAIBLE?

I have used an Adaptec product to do this, but am
dissatisfied with the results. Many times the ripped file
had pops and gliches where the CDA file was clean.

Q: Does CD Architect support CDA to WAV conversion, and is
it relaible?

I am looking for a professional full-featured product to do
this - as I regularly master and archive to CD, and later
need to remaster. I recently had to remaster 19 CDs to 32
CDs for the sake of the Marketing Dept. (Why they couldn't
have told me before I deleted the original files I don't
know but...)

Any suggestions are appreciated.

should get the same speed as other grabbers, but is probably not
