I used to play CD's, but then started ripping to my PC and playing back with JRiver.
After that, I bought a Baetis Music server, and rip to that play, and play from it. I have Spotify, lossless, and play off them.
Most likely 80% Baetis, 20% Spotify.
Baetis server sounds as good as my CD player did. I still have the CD player, a YBA unit. It's in a box, and put away for storage.
