Not at all!  Hardware for producing CD quality sound through the GS speaker
doesn't exist.  For that, you attach speakers directly to the CD drive itself.
The CD-150 is a very nice drive if you don't absolutely need to have a 
double-speed drive.  It's supported by GS/OS drivers for both of Apple's SCSI
cards and should be supported via the RAMfast's built-in CD-ROM support as
well.  My CD-150 works great, but I haven't tried diskQuest.
