Get a CD or DVD Rom Drive that has more than one Button....the CD/DVD Rom drives that only have an Eject Button will be useless as they need a CPU to work...hope this helps

Add a play/skip button to your standalone CD-ROM Drive
I've got a bunch of old CD-Rom Drives from Old PC's.
PM me if you interested.

Thanks marc , i've got a lot of players too , i've buy this controller ,for a low cost , it give me all the funtcions i need
i would only want to know your experiments with differents models of drives to find the best performance /noise of the unit ratio as possible
The best standard CD is still considered to be the SONY SCSI, but of course, not IDE.
Sony or Philips transports seem to be the choice of high end players. Using old CD drives is not without the issue that they are old. Mechanical. Wear and lens gets dirty. CD transports got better servo when DVD came out. So, not sure this is still a valid path. Putting in your own DA, analog and improving the p/s on a generic CD player may be a better project unless you have a specific form-factor you are trying to build.

I've got 8 different IDE drives, wich are all different (from 6x to 52x)
Also i have alot of SCSI But no one has Digital ou connector. (plextor and sanyo)
It's a project still on the ice.

Hi marc, i've got 2 plextor units (a px 716 and px 755) both have digital spdif out
but the speed is amazing , they turn very very fast
i hope to receive the controler this week and run the test (maybe run quietly with controler )
my cd rom
I owne that...
complete metal casing and lead!
Laser metal body ....
Incredible quality construction!
Can not wait processing.
In general, the older the better. Newer models tend to vibrate or start up with high speed.
