USB mass storage: VID_13FD PID_0940 REV_0101  

According to the link below, that might point to an Asus SBW-06D2X-U:

I suspect the VID/PID correspond to the bare Initio drive mech inside the Asus enclosure (and the ripping device), not to the entire unit.

Yes, it's actually probable that the VID/PID refer to the USB to SATA bridge so the drive itself may be entirely different. I found several references to these hardware IDs, some of which were for DVD/RW and also the Bluray unit above.

It may be the USB VID/PID that is being checked or it may be the drive identifier so to be 100% certain of success you'd need the same drive, running the same firmware, on the same bridge, and possibly connected to the same USB hub.

Maybe someone who owns the official CD ripper might be prepared to the case to see what drive is actually inside?

I can now confirm that the ASUS 06D2X-U blu-ray combo drive sort of works both for ripping AND for CD-playback. Sometimes you have to restart the BM5 for the CD playback to work. I am trying to fiddle with some of the options to see if I can get it to work 100%.

Great! Thanks for reporting this.

Would be nice to know whether you can get it working perfectly.

Very interesting thread ! 🤒

I liked the CD ripping device concept, but thought it ruins the overall design of the beautiful BS5.

So, a CD player connected to the BM5 is a really good option.

One thing : What USB port are you using to connect the device (2 ports are available below the RJ45 port), and is there anything to do in the service menu or in Windows mode ?

Thanks.

it's digital... so there IS always a way to make a backup of it. 😕
And this software could help to fix a damaged Beomaster 5 by yourself (new mainboard, serial-numbers of the hardware etc.)

Anyone succeeded to add alac codec?
