I wasn't clear enough about the differences between analog out vs digital out. The Apollo played those discs just fine when using the RCA analog output. The Apollo would not output a signal using the SPDIF connection.

Thanks for the clarification. I haven't come across DRM that does not allow an output at all, rather that either the (ripping, recording) device attached will not accept the data stream without a key to authorise it or where the stream is encrypted and a device without matching decryption cannot recognise it.
Anyway, as I mentioned, the object of this type of DRM is to prevent ripping , which in fact you were able to do. I believe that Sony released a lot of CDs like this some years back over a couple of months but had to abandon it due to the public reception when it was found that the system introduced root code to the ripping device e.g. computer, which disabled it when ripping of the disc or others similarly equipped was attempted. Incidentally you should be able to see if the CD is protected by inserting it into a computer optical drive and selecting "Properties".

Most of the CDs that wouldn't output digital were Sony CDs. I used dBpoweramp to rip them so they must have figured out how to disable the DRM encoding.
