I've never worked with either of those drives. My experience is in the VAE1250 drive. That one required a power supply, a display, DAC, and a lot of code. I also built a little interface board to buffer the data off the drive. Strohmie has said that Philips have modules that will make the code much easier to develop. You also have to make sure that your power supply is sufficiently large to start up the mech's motor. I think it has to be able to supply 1.5A continuous. The DAC interface is straight forward. Just connect their data out line up to the input of a receiver chip (I used Crystal CS8414) and you're done. That's why I've suggested making the player in 2 parts: first the DAC and then the Transport. The CDPro2 is a good choice as far as chassis design because you don't need to figure out the door opening/closing. As far as DACs, I really like the 1704. A lot of people are really into the Analog Devices parts, but my expereince with them is limited.
