I could have written your thread opening message down to the last period. I’m firmly planted in the two channel analog past too and much interested in converting my CDs and maybe my LPs to digital. I’m at the stage where it’s difficult to know which questions to ask.
Just to get started, I am so confused about what to choose for ripping and then how to merge streaming into my several stereo systems. And what if I want to do LPs too?
I have had recommendations for the Naim Uniti Core for ripping and storing digital music. I’ve heard that Roon might be better. Or maybe it’s just different. I’ve just today heard about the gear recommended in this thread, Bluesound and Sony. How to choose??
Virtually all my music is classical or opera and I’ve read with increasing despair that it can be very hard to get the right tags on classical music, so that’s one issue.
Which one preserves the audio quality best?
Which software is best for managing playback?
