My current favorite software for CD replication is Express Burn (https://www.nch.com.au/burn/index.html): it outperforms Exact Audio Copy for HDCDs. When asked for preferences for encoding the first time, select the values shown in the attachment.
An edit to this post I started: ExpressBurn is the actual copying software, but Express Rip is what I was really referring to when setting the encoder, and I have attached the screenshot for the highest quality audio setting.
