they can be...but whether audible or not, errors are still errors and bad for trading/collecting purposes.
EAC is the only program that has proven itself to perform accurate rips...also, most rippers do not allow for the level of configuration specific to yer particular sytem/drives [such as both read and write offset correction, etc]...another thing most traders want included when a DAE is required is the EAC extraction log, which gives detailed info regarding each tracks extraction.
after a good many years, its become standard in trading circles that DAE should only be performed using:
PC/Windows - EAC [properly configured]
Mac/OSX - xACT
Lynux - cdParanoia
here's a thread with a bit more info re: DAE
