hi, I have a recent macbook pro of course don't have cd player... so I need rip my music cds in a proper way...

based on the Accuracy List 2014 https://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?34019-CD-DVD-Drive-Accuracy-List-2014 the "MATSHITA - DVD-R UJ-85J" is a winner! and based on a google search it seems that great drive are present on previous imacs and possible present of old macbook pro with drives... so! the questions are:

1. it seems amazon sell that drive: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GM9E888/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3DC58VE7Y4F0H
it seems is the apple use but branded Pananosic...
of course I need buy a enclosure for that,
any recommendation of an enclosure???
and works with a enclosure? via USB, or is not recommend do that... you know a mix of drive with a third party enclosure? maybe I can lost Accuracy?

2. ok if the amazon matshita + enclosure is not the best thing... so I think on a apple Super Drive, so apple super drive is inside a???? a matshita or ??? any info about what is the apple super drive inside???

and yes rip cds in a proper way not works with crappy cd drivers, I have here and IOMEGA and lacks! not accuracy results, got errors depends of the speed read etc... so bad, also the proper way is with XLD http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23430/x-lossless-decoder not iTunes!

any help? thank you!!!
