Not all disc rippers are created equal, be careful.
For the most “accurate” rip (some may not care or even notice, which of course is ok) from experience I’d use either EAC or DBPoweramp, the latter being my preference.
Ripping speed can depend on your drive and computer grunt, but the two I mentioned above give the most accurate rip imo.
Aside the most accurate ripping tools DbPoweramp also does a data bit check on each track it rips, and compares your rip to it’s database of other users rips of that same CD.
So know your rip is accurate.
Free full functional 30 day trial available, downgrades to free version after that, where you lose the most accurate ripping settings.
Not expensive for full version, worth it if you rip a lot of CDs
