"..Given the test results, I think that Pioneer DR-944 is the player which performed better without visible limits except for a slower sequential reading speed (due to the reduced rotation speed).

AOpen CD-948E/AUK is a good player with general performance lower than Pioneer but with a stronger construction and a good software package.

Asus CD-S500/A is a fast player but too noisy while working and it has problems reading some supports, so it isn't a good choice.."
