CD audio contains music as binary audio data. These data are recorded to an optical disk from some original computer file(s).
The main aim of the CD ripper is to obtain the original file content. FLAC saves the ripped music without losses.
Thus the best FLAC ripper should provide a minimum difference between the original and the ripped files.
In the ideal case, no difference should be there.
CD-audio content is specially coded, to be able to detect errors and recover damaged information. Decoding, error detection and recovery are performed inside the optical drive.
The drive can mark detected error location in the music stream via C2 flags. As far as the author knows, different implementations may be there.
Computer optical drive gives different levels of access to the music data. Safe rippers have access to low-level audio data, where C2 flags are available.
Only system "CD ripper + CD drive + test disk" may be estimated properly.
