Which drive to buy for audio CD extration in 2015 ?

Hello,

I am looking for advice about buying a drive for CD extraction.
I read a lot of things about C2 pointers, but it is hard to tell if drives support it before actually buying and testing them.

I don't mind if it reads DVD and/or Blu-Ray. Not too expensive if possible.
Not necessarily new but I looked for old Plextor drives and they are not that easy to find (I'm not even sure if buying a used drive is a good option for CD extraction).

Thank you.

Thank you. Well, my search keywords didn't direct me to that post.
However it's still mostly pointing at old data and doesn't really give much info about "good drives + with C2 pointers".
I hope, maybe somebody with up-to-date info would possibly reply.


EDIT: Sorry, wrote too fast, there is a complete accuracy/drive list from 2014. But yet now C2 pointers info.

I only buy Pioneer drives, always did, always will.

Even Taiyo Yuden (absolute best brand of blank media, now owned by JVC) uses Pioneer drives for testing (https://jvc-media.com/).

Picked random drive from shop, never had an issue unless AccurateRip doesn't work
