One additional advantage of the server is that it allows to rip CD as data reading multiple times until proper checksum is obtained. Most CDPs cannot do this working in real time. It might be important with less than perfect CDs. CDs will get scratched but HD data with proper backups will last forever.
Server is also convenient/allowing other formats to be played and playlists or catalogs to be created. Finding CD on the server is a matter of seconds.
