Hi Mapman,
Yes, if the cache were not large enough to support the timing variations of the read mechanism, clear audible dropouts would occur.
If the optically-read data were conveyed to a dac, or to the internal dac of a cdp (transport plus dac in one unit) without any memory cache in between, I would expect the result to be a total mess combining dropouts with various distortions associated with the timing variations.
Best regards,
