I do not understand why one needs that external controller? I just have one the desk: An old 150W ATX power supply 4€ , a CD ROM from electronics junk jard with play and eject buttons at front, connected to the experimental AD1865 i made via spdif. It works, but mechanics is a little louder than a real audio transport.

What bugs me is that CD-Roms these days (with crazy speeds) make a lot of noise, even when playing CD-DA.
Listening to my music with a Bzzzzzzzzzzz is not for me.

I have a CD-Rom on a box (taken from a tape backup system), with internal PSU, RCA analog and SPDIF outs and I don't use it.

Most cdrom players have an eject and only sometimes a play button. No track buttons. Linear supplies are preferred over switchers.

A possibility to lower the spindle motor speed is a nice extra.

I think the Bzzzzzzzzz sound from your old tape backup system box. Is it switching power supply? Try other power supply souce such as Liner Power Source.

at www.asus.com.
They have released a 'quiet' version of
their 'well-suspended' cdrom
transport. It is in the news section, but the
product is actually available in shops already.

cheers
