Looking to use the Bluesound Vault 2i High-Res 2TB Network Hard Drive CD Ripper/Streamer

Hello All,

I'm basically looking to use this as my "mega" disc cd player. Back in the day I had a Pioneer 101 disc cd player. I loved it. I'm kind of looking to go back as I miss listening to my cd's. So I'm looking to rip all my old cd's, connect this unit to my processor and use it as my cd player...I have no experience with this unit or "ripping" cd's. Will I get the same quality sound and can I use this unit as basically a mega disc cd player?

Thanks All!

OP
lots of threads about Bluesound in the Digital and PC forums.
fwiw, I will disagree with djones and say that using my CD player as a transport into my DAC sounds slightly better than playing the ripped CD on the Vault2, but it isn’t a night and day difference.  Another factor is using the Bluesound app to find your music; as with all streaming apps you may love it or hate it, and it is a significant part of the experience.
