New Transport? / Streamer? / CD Player?

I would recommend investing in a good DAC and separate streamer. If you can afford a good streamer and DAC you will have no use for a CD transport. A good Streamer and DAC will sound as good and much of the time better than a CD transport or ripped (files copied to an external source). My 2,000 CD serve as wall diffusion panels. Qobuz and other streaming services offer much of their content in higher resolution than CD ant they sound better with a good complimentary DAC and Streamer for about the cost of one cd purchase per month. While vinyl provides additional resolution with greater investment the CD does not. It is fixed with respect to other digital formats. With a high quality streaming service your library is nearly infinite. My library is virtual and huge now. My streamer has storage space, and when I put it into my system it found all my ripped files (if you need to rip, just do it on a PC) on my network, so I coped to the streamer. I have not used them in many months. A good streamer is reliable. 

Many folks cannot let go of the disks they bought (sunk cost). If not upgrade your DAC as much as possible using your existing player as transport. Then hopefully enough time 

@fuzztone,
you are the first Pro-Ject CD BOX RS2 owner I have come across who has not clearly heard an improvement with a linear power supply in place of the stock wall wart SMPS. That’s an interesting take. I have read and been told that indeed the sound is terrific with the SMPS but "clearly" improves with a LPS. further evidence that people just hear differently. The always present subjective element.

@facten,
Agree, quality of transport and digital cable absolutely matter. For some odd reason, there is the tendency (By some listeners) to treat these two vital factors as after thoughts. As though only the DAC matters, not true by a country mile!

CD transports versus digital servers/streamers has been debated endlessly. At the end of the day both sides have their faithful advocates because either can provide much satisfaction if done right. This rivals box speaker versus panel speaker or tube versus transistors. Never to be a consensus winner.

Sparkler Audio has a new CD player the S515 that has digital input and can be used as a dac. You will need to purchase a separate digital inter phase for a usb input if you want to go that route.

I'm very pleased with my single box S503, very natural and open sound.

OP

  I get the feeling from reading your post that you would be more comfortable staying with CDs and not going the streamer mode.  A few observations:
1) Regarding SQ, there is no inherent reason why streaming vs CD replay should vary in quality.  They both extract digital streams and feed them to a DAC.  If the equipment is good enough your CDs should sound the same whether they are spinning on a transport or residing on a computer drive.  There are a lot of threads here that debate this, but most people are comparing a $300 CD player vs a 5 K streamer, or vice versa.  Streaming is the hot technology now so there are more streamer choices out there than CD players.
2) CD replay tends to be easier.  Nothing beats pop in disc and hit play.  Of course, you need to physically do this, but since vinyl is your preferred playback media, apparently a little physical effort does not flummox you.  Streamers basically are computers and therefore subject to the same networking issues.  Did you ever have a printer that has always worked suddenly go off line for reasons that are no fault of your own?  Read these threads and you will find dozens of complaints about an update from the streamer company, or Apple/Google/Microsoft, suddenly rendering their collections inaccessible.
3)Otoh, once those CDs have been ripped to a streamer, and assuming that you don’t have the issues mentioned above, then the convenience issues are different.  It can be great (well, maybe not for your health) to sit on the sofa and use a tablet to pick your music.
You may enjoy it so much that you will add a streamer service and use it to play the music that you have on lp and not vinyl.

So here is what I am doing.  I bought the Melco N100 server/streamer.  It has a 2 TB HD.  I also bought their CD Ripper/CD
transport, the E 100, which wii both rip CDs or function as a transport for CD replay.  The E100 needs to be attached to the N100
in order to work, but it’s built like a tank, makes great rips, and sounds better than my Oppo 105 as a CD transport into the same DAC.  Total the cost around $3K.  The Melco has worked for me with less IT issues than other streamers that have passed through my system from Bluesound,Bryston,SHM, and Arcam.  Melco is also compatible with Tidal and Qobuz (and Roon) but not other services, at least at this time, AFAIK
