DAE stands for Digital Audio Extraction. It is the process in which your CD-Rom drive reads the raw audio data off the source disc. Because there is less error correction on audio CDs compared to ordinary data CDs, the process of extracting can often invite flaws such as pops, clicks, snaps and crackles into the recording.
