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.

I have a bunch of those Harman Kardon machines. They are known for "glitches" in the duplication process. MANY times I have to throw out the CDR's after Ive spent HOURS making Mixed CD's because there are major flaws.  The Good news is your Laser will die shortly in that machine and then it becomes nothing more than a doorstop as you wont get it repaired.  Think I have 6 or 7 left of those duplication machines...some still Brand New in Box. Im sure the PC ones discussed above are better...something has to be.  TASCAM makes the best stand alone copiers/burners BUT they dont have 2 Drawers which makes it more of a pain in the arse!
