Looking for a component for ripping and playing CD's.

Recently moved to a different state and sold all my audio equipment.  NAD preamp and tuner, Nakamich Dragon, Thorens belt drive turntable with Shure V15VMR, Sony 400 disc SACD player, pair of Hafler DH500's, Krell KMA100's, Definitive BP7000SC's and Polk Audio SDA SRS's.  Sold all my vinyl but kept my collection of approx. 2500 CD's.

New system consists of NAD C538 single CD player, Sangean tuner, McIntosh C-32 preamp, McIntosh MC-2205 amp, Klipsch Forte IV's, a pair of Klipsch RP-1200SW subs and my first ever stand alone DAC, S.M.S.L. SU-1.  I've never streamed before and enjoy Youtube for music and music videos.

My question is does anybody make a hifi component that allows me to rip my CD's and then play them through my DAC?  I really do not want to use a computer to do this.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Take a close look at the Naim Uniti Core.  It rips CDs and sounds great.  I have a 4TB SSD installed in mine.

The only problem I've had is with the backup from my previous server, a Cocktail Audio X45, which didn't work too well restored on the Uniti Core.  Some artwork and most artist names are missing, but all the music's all there for me to wade through.  You won't have this problem when ripping CDs.

The reason I dumped the X45 was its poorly functioning app.  The Naim app works perfectly on my iPhone and iPad.
