Ripping CD's to hard drive

What is the highest quality way to rip a collection of CD's to a hard drive? Does it require a high-end transport and DAC of some sort? How have others gone about this when loading their Lumin, Aurender, etc components?

Store them on an SSD from Crucial Technology in a plastic drive case from Amazon. Linked via USB cable - PC to cd drive to rip. Linked via USB cable - SSD to Streamer / Player. Several SSD’s for backup. Permits using any streamer / player and DAC. Very simple, inexpensive, reliable and flexible.
