What are My Options for Ripping My CD Collection ?

I'm not a tech person and I'm looking for options to rip my 1,300 CD collection.  I've been looking at a used Innuos Zen Mk 3 with internal CD ripper because it would also be a considerable streamer upgrade.  However this is $1500 or more on the used market.  I can live with my current streamer if there are less expensive options for ripping with comparable sound quality (FLAC or better).  We are MAC based. Thanks.

Congrats!  I think you’ll be very happy with that decision.  Let us know how it goes if you could.

I ripped over 4,000 CDs on my lap top using DbPowerAmp. Did it every night while watching TV and transferred the rips to a network hard drive (two in tandem as a safeguard against one going down.  Took awhile but you only have to do it once.

OP, 

Congratulations. Good choice. You get both worlds. Ripping can be a casual thing done at your leisure while listening to streaming. Tell us how it goes.
