Agreed - can't send the actual CD subcode as it is not stored in the
ripped files.
[I think emphasis and copy control is channel status not subcode -

The issue in the links is that for a standard CD transport sending
consumer mode subcode data, there are spectral components seen on the
spdif receiver's PLL which are diagnosed as being due to repeating
patterns in the subcode.

So you could claim SB as better than a CD transport... (depending on
what you actually put in the subcode bits)
