I too have been looking for a drive which would provide the digital version of
the music through some sort of standard interface.  For some time, I thought
that the recording industry and the CD mfgs. had struck some sort of deal to
keep this type device off the market (similar to the DAT controversy).  Recently,
however, I found that a number of CD audio players will output the audio track
in a standard digital format (the standard name escapes me at the moment) for
connection to receivers which can process digital audio directly.  I hope
this helps.
