Best way to save cd collection?


Need advice on how to save my cd collection to a lossless format and play on my stereo system. Can someone give me a very, very simple explanation of what equipment and/or software I need? Keep in mind that I'm computer challenged. I have an iPod and would consider buying a DAC and Wadia docking station. Would also consider buying a laptop computer if necessary and "streaming" the music to my sytem. My goal is a simple, inexpensive approach that doesn't compromise the quality of the music. Have I mentioned that I'm computer challenged??

S7horton,

Please give me a ball park cost estimate for this setup. Will the remote adjust the volume too? Any negatives? I'm assuming this will rip in lossless format?
Shadorne,

Appears we have the same goals. I don't need capability for multiple rooms. I just want to rip & play my library of cds thru my high end system via a remote at my listening chair. After searching online, there seems to be no concensus on how to best achieve this (on a tight budget). I'm just praying that any advice will be very simply stated so I can understand it. Case in point, I have no idea what a LaCie 2TB... is and how to utilize it.
I've had an opportunity to talk with Walter at Underwood HiFi. Super nice gentleman who took the time to explain things in terms I could understand. I'll probably take his advice and get the modified ZP-90 and modified PS Audio DAC.
