Cocktail Audio X50


Looking at the Cocktail Audio X50 and the Bluesound Vault2 as I want a quality CD player, ripper, strorage and music streamer...preferably an all in one unit as I don't have a lot of space for a bunch of separates...any one have experience with these two units?...am leaning towards the Cocktail Audio unit as it has more internal storage and plays cds

I have the Vault2.  Earlier I had reported issues with it that turned out to be due to problems in Powerline conditioners.  It doesn’t have a good DAC but I never intended to use the supplied DAC anyway.  It won’t spin CDs, as you noted.  The control app is so so.  It sounds great.
i can’t comment on the CA piece
