Need opinions on duping CD's

I'm not too tech savy so forgive my question if it's answer is obvious.
I'm making a best of Beatles CD from the Re-mastered Stereo and Mono CD sets.
I'm using a two drawer Harmon Kardon CDR20.
My question is: Am I recording a perfect dupe as far as sound quality, or am I being limitedby the HK's dac? If so, what's a better way? I have high end CD Players I could use.

Ripping CDs to HD is legal as long as you have one copy that paid royalties - original CD or "Audio CD-R" copy (cheap).

Copy can be better than original since most of CDPs can only read given sector once, operating in real time.  With longer scratches CDP might start to interpolate missing data.  Ripping program can go to the same sector hundreds of times to recover it.  That way copy can be better than original and you can even recover completely unplayable CDs.
