I’m going to agree with the idea of ripping your collection to disc.
When I upgraded my gear to pre-owned Logan/Bryston/Krell equipment, I needed a source that was equal to the rest of the system. I found that a HiFiBerry DAC+Pro XLR attached to a Pi yields outstanding results.
Yes, it is time consuming to rip and clean up tags and art but that investment yields ongoing rewards. There’s nothing like being able to search songs and explore your collection from your favorite listening position using a smart phone or tablet. And you can always re-purpose the data for use in your car or other devices.
For about a hundred bucks, why not give it a try?
