It's a very novel sensation for me to be arguing that 'bits are bits'! But its very simple to prove categorically that the binary data on the disc is identical to the ripped version.
More importantly, where there are errors, they are punctiliar and rare. In other words, it's hard to imagine how they could combine systemically to change the 'character' of the file. This idea is exactly like saying 'my digital photograph changes colour when I move it to a different partition'. In a very unusual scenario, you might lose a pixel, or corrupt a file header, but it will never turn sepia!
The behaviour of the optical drive will make a characteristic difference to the 'colour' of the playback. We can look to the hardware - and even software - but we can't blame the data.
