Is it possible that the disc is recorded with pre-emphasis?

I encountered a disc like this once. EAC will correctly identify it as having pre-emphasis, but the rip preserves the file (in other words does not de-emphasize the file) IIRC iTunes will de-emphasize during the rip process (but sounds like sh*t) Playing the original CD, the Denon will properly de-emphasize during playback, but playing from an AIFF the Denon will not de-emphasize (not recognizing a pre-emphasis tag) and the song will sound very bright.

When you put a disc in, will CDParanoia properly identify a disc as having pre-emphasis?
