Congrats on getting diagnosed, and sooner rather than later. I bombed out of college to sleepdep hallucinations and muddled through the valley for almost a decade before I was diagnosed and got part of my brain back.
Good luck finding gear that fits well and may the "getting used to it" phase proceed quickly.
FWIW, the Respironics Remstar+ is quieter than others I've shared a room with, and is sufficiently multivoltage that I was able to drag it through southeast asia without having to worry about what I was plugging it into. Even has a 12v socket in the back of it for use whilst mobile (camping, etc.). Only downside is I've yet to find a Respironics-brand mask that fits well enough to avoid either air in the eyes or pressure sores.

Good luck! Enjoy the sleep!
