Solving the Mystery: What Happened to the DIY CD-Player Project? - by SoundBlab

Back in September of 2021, I featured the 1st part of a DIY build of a CD-Player Transport, using a CD-ROM drive and controller board. Now almost 2.5 years later, and I finally get back to this project, and have made some progress...

Great video and I want to see how it would turn out!

Very interesting! Hello uncle Hanri, this is David Rooney here, you should apply to get verrified, so everyone knows that this is your real channel :)

[@SoundBlab]

Thanks buddy! It looks like I have already verified the channel. I read that the verified checkmark does not show on mobile. Maybe thats why you don't see the checkmark next to the channel name 👊.

Hey there, how can I connect the switching power supply to the cd rom?

[@gordiefrench5342]

Fantastic idea and I would love to have a hand built transport. Hope all goes well This will be very interesting

[@SoundBlab]

Thanks

[@AstroSam66]

Those 7805 you used is good for max 1A. I think the drive will consume 2A+. You can easylie measure this with a cheap Multimeter if put in the 5V powercord.

[@SoundBlab]

Yeah, I think that was the problem.

[@adipuiu5603]

Really nice project. I want to see the end result.

[@SoundBlab]

Thank you!

I've actually been thinking about building my own CD transport because finding a small one with decent performance with a resonable price seems like an impossible task, so this looks like something I might be interested in! Though I would love to hear your thoughts about the functionality and speed of this board and old CD drive you have? And does it do CD text as well? :)

[@SoundBlab]

The controller board is fast enough and performs well. Though limited in additional functionality like CD text. I think it just does track numbers.

[@franciscorompana2985]

Can you comment maybe for another video, on the different types of CD parts manufacturers, the ones that are compatible or not for repair at home. And also, the front loading mechanism, the likes in cars and for DJs, without drawer. Are they good for maintenance over the years? Are they as strong.😅

[@SoundBlab]

I am afraid that I do not have the knowledge to comment on that.
