The Creative if its a Panasonic CR 585 or 587 will do DAE at up to 12x. And
its good DAE, no pops crackles etc which characterise some other CD readers.
The 24 spin shpuld be available for under $140 (we sell for $130) and the 32
speed, CR 586,  for under $160. The 32 speed has a 256 k buffer versus the
128k in 24. Unless you buy a Plextor for around $300+ I dont think there's a
better drive available

  Should be avThe Creative is more "solid: and has more features (infra etc.)
