Personally I rip all my CDs to FLAC. I have about 8K titles and having them out was a real pain. Now they are all in storage (wallets) and live on my server. I use Roon to stream to a Lumin X1 that I very much like. When I buy a CD (rare these days) I rip it with an Iomega CDROM. I use Yate for tagging. The sound is glorious. Not sure why anyone would use a builtin DAC.
That said, I mostly purchase DSDs these days (512!!), or LPs.
