The problem is the optical disc drives. Something about the way the TOC is being read at the beginning of each track will cause the disc transport to go unstable and churns out your 1's and 0's at the wrong timing. To solve this problem you always have to open/close disc tray to cache the ROM memory, select the desired track from stop position directly using the numerical keys, play and then skip back to the beginning of that track after exactly 12 seconds. That will keep the sound consistently grainless until the next track starts. All optical disc drives from $100 CD walkman to $40K CD players are susceptible to this problem, except maybe the Meitner Combo which uses re-clocking techniques to get around it. The soon to launch, humble little AIWA mini system using USB protocols may have also solve this problem unwittingly.
