I have some old masters (well, MiniDisc to CDA) that are in CDA format which is what an old stand-alone Philips CD burner used. They were digitally transferred from MD to CDA and I'd love to turn them into WAV.
Tried Audacity, Traders Little Helper, and Wavelab 6 with no luck. Is there any software which can change these to WAV format ? My only other option is to transfer them in real time via analog cable to my
portable field recorder.
I have a couple fairly rare moe. and Gov't Mule masters from 2000 to work on and would rather not use an analog cable.
any help appreciated.

CDA is normal audio format, rip them with EAC.

If you stll have the MDs, I can Transfer them to 16/44 WAV w/o any CD Burning or analog steps... Sony MD > Toslink > HOSA > SPDIF > Tascam HD-P2...
If not, use EAC as recommended above...

thanks guys!
I recently got a new computer and have yet to put EAC on it since I don't really burn CD's much any more.
Will give that a shot.

You should be able to load them in Audacity. Just load as raw audio at 44100, 2 ch, 16 bit and (I think) big endian.
