Keep this drive! For me, they are near perfect for dBpoweramp: NEC chipset, don't cache audio, fast, accurate, re-rip frames very fast and can overread into lead-out.

Of course, enable C2 pointers and set cache as 0 KB. You cannot set the read speed of these Pioneer drives using dBpoweramp nor other software.

Only this tool can control the read speed of these Pioneer drives:

cdvdcontrol --piolimit off -d [LETTER DRIVE] 40x

cdvdcontrol --piolimit on -d [LETTER DRIVE] 24x

Yes, you enable C2 and read into lead-out for this drive.

True, you own a set of excellent drives for ripping audio.

It's a command line program. You have to open a command line window (cmd.exe) and enter these commands:
cd [Folder which contains that program]
cdvdcontrol --pio-limit on -d [LETTER OF PIONEER DRIVE]

If success, you will see this:

Re: Plextor PX-40 TSI / Ultraplex 40 max

qpxtool.exe is a GUI for scanning discs (supports Lite-On, NEC, Pioneer, BenQ, Plextor... drives) and an alternative program to PlexTools to control several features offered by real Plextor drives. cddvcontrol is a bundled program you have to run through a command line, run the cmd.exe program of Windows.

Or you can write a cmd file to run the program. For example, write this in .txt file, and change .txt extension for .cmd. Replace e: for the actual letter of you Pioneer drive:

@cdvdcontrol --pio-limit on -d e:
@pause
