Rotel CD player not playing all ripped CDs

Postal Grunt

I have a Rotel RCD-1072 and it has been a trouper for a long time, playing new, used, and ripped CDs without a blink of its digital eye. However, it's now has a small inconsistency in that some of my backup copies play fine and some don't. The problem copies do play when I use my desktop's Windows Media Player for playback.
I use the drive in my HP desktop to feed an old Mad Dog burner utilizing the basic Cyberlink Power2Go software and have done so for years with no problems other than deep scratches on the used CD being copied.
The problem CD-Rs all came from the same stack as many successful copies. So where should I start troubleshooting? I'm thinking a dusty lens in the Rotel, a bad lot of CD-Rs (unlikely since they play in the desktop), the burner is ready for replacement, corrupted software or is there something else that I'm overlooking?
