Yes, Plextols does it.

But what you call "random errors" are "inconsistent errors". When they are corrected, if some consistent errors are left, you get "no errors occured", because the rereading believes it has corrected them, and same CRC, since they are consistent.

Thus you can't be sure that your rips are error free, since you can't detect the 32 % consistent errors with C2 off, nor with C2 on (they will flash the red light, but be left uncorrected), nor by comparing CRC (same and both wrong).
