@markcasazza , good for you. You do you, and enjoy the journey. I'm a CD player slut, but I am happy you found a way further down the road than I got, so to speak. Have fun!
If I rip all my CD's to flac files do I still need a CD transport?
I'm in the process of ripping all my CDs to .flac files with Exact Audio Copy. If I see a verified rip with no errors, is there any point in considering upgrading my CD player? Would I be better investing is a quality streamer and DAC?
