Mike,

   In the steps you describe below, are you talking about conversion
from wav. files to CD-player-readable cda. files, and then back again?

Fine. The investigation is straightforward.

1. Take a set of 'redbook' WAVs from your hard drive
2. Write them to a disc known to produce known errors at your write
speed
3. Rip the tracks to WAV using your choice of program, correcting for
offset as required
4. Compare the original and the extracted WAVs with WinDiff or
equivalent

NOTE: If you see occasional errors, you have a poor write in step 2 or
poor
extraction in step 3. Any change of overall parameters, such as
frequency
response or dynamic range will be continuous.
