To be correct: I did not try Wave Burner yet, because it isn't on 
the Mac I worked with. Will try that today onb my other MBP.

Just wondering: since CD quality is 16 bit anyhow - why don't you 
just convert to 16 bit and get done with it?

I don't know if you are going to print physical CD's, but you 
could send a 16bit version of your most problematic file to the 
CD factory and ask them if the file is OK - just to be sure...
