cdparanoia calls the kernel ioctl interface for DAE and this is definitely inferior to what cdda2wav does. cdda2wav nows aabout vendor unique SCSI commands that give better results and it knows about various defects and deviations from the Red book standard. With this knowledge, it is able to extract things typically better and in many cases it is able to read the CD at all even though the kernel ictl interface will fail due to massive redbook deviations on the medium.
