I trying to think of ways that the hardware could have
an impact and am failing to think of anything. Does
that make any sense?

If CD-DA isn't Red Book, then I wonder what is. My
impression has been that Red Book is simply the method
by which the audio files are burned onto the disk.
There are two methods; A, Disk at Once (DAO) and B,
Track at Once (TAO). Red Book is DOA.

I just use my own scripts to burn CDs. I've never had
a problem. What program do you use to write the CD?
And if you post a TOC file maybe someone here can spot
something wrong with it.

Nobody else responsed which is why I am. Not because I
really know much about it. Although, I never have
problems with the CDs that I burn.
