I would look into the Bluesound Vault 2. It's about $1k but it's an all in one, 2TB of space, a CD player to rip and store CDs (no pc required) and a streamer. It plays and streams both ripped and Tidal music. I heard this unit recently and it sounded great. Not as good as an Aurender but better than the Aurlalic Aries. For its price and functionality I thinks a good value.
Need Help Ripping My CD Collection
I want to get rid of my CD collection but I would still like digital copies of certain albums for when I can't stream Tidal. I was going to purchase an external SS drive to store them on. Can someone recommend a program intended for this application. Is FLAC still the recommended format for storing standard CD quality audio? I'm looking for the easiest solution that will give me CD quality files.Thanks for any help.
