Which claim exactly? You didn't highlight what you are asking a link for.  If you mean a firmware update to play previous PS games I should think it's obvious.

That the Playstation 4's optical drive just requires a firmware update to support CD.

Unfortunately I can't give you a specs link that states CD-DA is possible with PS4 hardware.  However, if you understand the technology behind disc drive lasers and the various formats you would know that the hardware is not the limiting factor.  The software is the limiting factor why CD-DA is not playable on the PS4.

This link from reddit is the best I can do as far is corroborating why PS4 doesn't play CDs being a software issue and not a hardware/laser issue.  It'd be way too time consuming explaining laser tech and providing proof that blu-ray lasers are perfectly capable of reading CD-DA disc data if the software was there.
