Cocktail Audio X35 or X45

Hi everyone, I’m hoping some members here have either of these models that are:
1. A CD ripper
2. Digital streamer Tidal, Pandora etc.
3. FM Tuner
4. Integrated amp

My goal is the following. Using a CD ripping service like Musicshifter.com have my CD collection of about 900-1000 CDs ripped to a portable HD. Then import all the files to either of the two models listed above which are both Roon ready.

i have considered the Blue Sound Vault 2i as well but I’m hoping members know the Cocktail Audio models mentioned. I might also consider Roon’s Nucleus?

End goal is to view all my CDs via artist, title, genre etc on my TV with a user friendly interface ( I’m older and not as tech savvy as most of you). 

Hoping to to hear from a few Cocktail Audio owners.

I recently purchased an X45, and is a very good unit. Sounds way better than my Oppo 105. I can' tell any difference between ripped CDs and originals.

Purchased some lossless 96/24 albums from Qobuz. They sound awesome on my Krell + MartinLogan system.
