As far as compatibility with standalone players, that will be dependent on the type of media that the player will tolerate. What works on one player might not work on another.
Ok I will probably get the Pioneer 106 then. Just the OEM version of the A06.

Does it have comparable medium support to the Plextor 708 model?
