DVD drive would function the same as a normal cd drive. Accousticly I dout you would gain anything over a normal CD drive.
CD drives have been used... DVD maybe (someone might have wanted a slot loading drive.
Search around some of the other thread and you should find everything you wanted to know

The one aspect of DIY using a xxx-ROM drive as compared to a high end CDP that is a weakness and there is no easy way to address is the lack of beefiness of the mechanicals (please don't take this is a slam of DIY using CD-ROM). Look for the beefiest, solid feeling drive you can find as a starting point.
