Best CD drive mechanism

Hi
maybe it was mentioned before
But dont forget NEC early external CD rom models?
like this one * extremly hard to find in original box and undamaged
.

(this model does not have plug and play connectors)
Some models ususaly have manual controls at the front for audio CDs
And SPDIF output RCA connector from the back.
like this one

.
Own power supply, Audio L/R outputs and headphones 3.5mm output.
Excellent parts and mechanic quality.
.
BUT they need CADDY CD holder. Which is good, anyway not easy to find...
And ergonomcs is somehow complicated. To put every time a CD into caddy versus every CD with owen caddy - separated from the book. :(
.
I like also
Legendary Philips swinging arm transports
Teac VRDS is top too
And offcourse Sanyo Shiga :( simply outstanding
.
cheers
