You are mistaken, cdparanoia is a patch on a really outdated cdda2wav (from 1997) and it is limited to the DAE quality of the kernel drivers. In year 2000, cdda2wav was renewed to use libscg for sending RAW pass-through SCSI commands directly to the drives. cdda23wav for this reason can make use of special knowlede for various drives and deliveres the best DAE quality on Linux I am aware of.
