How To Convert a CD-ROM into a CD Player

Convert an old CD-ROM drive into a high quality CD Player/Transport. I still own more than a few CDs, and have not had the opportunity to listen to them due to the fact that I don’t own a CD Player, at least not a decent one. And occasionally I will still purchase the odd CD here and there. I have a Blu-ray player that can play CDs, but to get the best out of them, I am hoping to acquire something more dedicated to the task. This Part 1 video explores the possibilities of creating a high quality CD Player/Transport by converting a CD-ROM drive together with a few other parts.
