Home ripping to flac


In my morphing hifi journey I have gone from vinyl records to cd’s and now streaming. I have 500 or so cd’s that I want to rip to flac files.  I’m looking for a player/gizmo that plays and rips with the ability to output to an external drive that I can load the files onto a Lumin L1. 

In the past I have used a service that rips but want to be able to rip in house and  maybe play a CD a few times a year. In other words the CD playing doesn’t have to be anything more than functional. 

I don’t want to rip with a CD drive into a computer….That’s to slow and a PIA for me.

I would be greatful for recommendations as to what to get. TIA

  Ive seen people had good luck with the Bluesound vault not sure you can play CDs on it but once they're ripped to it you're good to go. 
Astell & Kern AK CD Ripper MKII Seems slow?

You can only control this from an Astrell & Kern music player is that what you are planning one using?
