It's easy to ensure that this process is full-digital, and also to
ensure that you make the track breaks correctly, without creating
sector boundary errors.

You don't say what operating system you use, but if it's a Windows
version, all you need is:

Exact Audio Copy - to rip the .wav file from the source CD.  This
process is fully a data process - no digital->analog->digital
conversions at all.  (EAC is the most robust, thorough error-checking
ripping program around for Windows, and though it takes a little bit
of tweaking to get it set up fully, it's worth it.)

CDWave - to split the source .wav into tracks.  This is truly easy to
use, and automatically creates the splits on sector-boundaries, so
there are no little glitchy gaps at the track breaks on the subsequent
tracked-out CD.

Some CD burning program.  Just make sure it has a setting for
"Disc-at-Once" (DAO) writing, so you don't end up with any BIG
(2-second) glitchy gaps between the tracks.  (If this CD is a studio
recording with silence between songs anyway, that might not make any
difference.)  I assume you already have a burning program, but if not,
I happily use Feurio, which is also a bit fiddly to set up, but very
powerful.

Google the names of any of these apps for a download link.

hey there, how are the korg 1-bit recorders working out in the
field?? since i got my sacd player i have been loving that
format, i almost like it better than vinyl, but since you can't
burn sacds (yet) i am wondering if you can convert them to
pcm/dvd-a for playback?? just wondering if they live up to what
they claim...

Nick
