MOVING TO computer/HD/audio player from CD's


I decided that continuing to increased my 1000 CD record collection was so 1940’s.  But then I discovered that there doesn’t seem to be any way to be high end audio.  Using my record collection from my macbookpro to my system 10 feet away isn’t possible without running a cable across the floor.

Bluetooth can’t handle the bandwidth for even 16bit CD let alone 24 bit.  An Fm transmitter gives me the limited S/N ration and stereo separation as well as limited frequency response of that medium.

It would seem that the only way is a hard wire from a used computer connected to a hard drive sitting with the equipment.

Am I missing something?

Look at HDDs with 6TB-10TB capacity.
Prices range from less than $100 to $300 for HDD only.
CD quality files WAV are relatively large files.
If redundancy is not an issue a single portable storage device will work.

Installation Option is available.
Reformat the Drive for MAC use.
A USB connection is Required.
Use a good quality USB cable.
You will need Digital to use digital USB input to the Preamp.
Control from listening position is a whole separate matter.
