If by 1% error rate you mean that 1% of the bits are read incorrectly,
that's an enormous error rate. Remember that there are around 6
billion bits on a CD, and EAC typically reads CDs with no errors. So
the error rate should be around 1 in 10^{-9}, not 1%. That's true even
with $30 CD-ROM drives; it's hard to imagine that high-end CD transpors
are much worse.
I don't think CD read errors are ever a significant issue for sound
quality if the disc is in good shape.
