I do both, spin disks and rip onto Mac. Search the forums, several threads concerning all your questions. Many benefits to having CDs ripped to computer. One is that your music can be taken with you.
Do i need a CD player, or can I use Mc Book?
Hello Fellows Audiophiles.
I have decided to go digital and follow the path of progress! I think that the music quality has improved sufficiently to make that move .
So here is my question: do I need a cd player in the chain to use as transport, or can I use my mac book pro?
Or should I burn all my cd to the laptop and start downloading music from HD sources on the web? Will i need a preamp as well, in the chain, or would a direct DAC/amp connection be better ?
All comments, observations are welcome. Thank you.
