Ok, I can finally share a solid update regarding this:

I got access to my old PC again and I took both the S09 and S13 with me to test.

Sure enough, as I think we all expected, both worked perfectly. I repeated all the same tests I'd performed at home and they were able to read CD's with no issue ...

You might be better served by taking the drives out of the computer, putting them into an external enclosure and connecting them via USB. Billycar11 suggested as much last Monday.

Here is a really cheap solution but works also for SATA SSD w/o the power supply. For optical drives you need to ...

i just tried some cds on an 13ubk and they work fine no issues so i can confirm this is not an issue with pioneer drives
this would also go for the s13jx/ux as they are the same drive platform.
