This is the wrong question:
If you like to have DMA, you need to push the Linux kernel guys to fix
their kernel bugs that habe been reported nearly a decade ago....
If the Linux kernel developers would listen to their users, we would
have one single interface for SCSI generic and this interface would
include ATAPI, USB, FireWire, PP-SCSI, ..... drives _with_ DMA support
if the hardware supports DMA at all.
Unfortunately, the Linux kernel developers do not like to fix bugs but
rather implement new additional interfaces that do not work for all
drives too and create them with just different bugs they also refuse to fix....

So it seems that you did not read the cdda2wav man page....
man cdda2wav clearly states that dev= parameters that look like
file names refer to the cooked Audio ioctls that do not work
decently on any know OS.
If you like to have a decent CDDA extraction you need to use
generic SCSI and this is done by using the SCSI address syntax
instead of filnames.
