MOVING TO computer/HD/audio player from CD's

I decided that continuing to increased my 1000 CD record collection was so 1940’s.  But then I discovered that there doesn’t seem to be any way to be high end audio.  Using my record collection from my macbookpro to my system 10 feet away isn’t possible without running a cable across the floor.

Bluetooth can’t handle the bandwidth for even 16bit CD let alone 24 bit.  An Fm transmitter gives me the limited S/N ration and stereo separation as well as limited frequency response of that medium.

It would seem that the only way is a hard wire from a used computer connected to a hard drive sitting with the equipment.

Am I missing something?

Don’t sell off your cd’s, I’ve had two friends who did this to fund "computer audio" and after some time chopping/changing trying to be satisfied with it, wanted to go back to cd so much they are now both musically grief stricken.
They have given away being audiophiles and become reclusive to anything to do with audio, SERIOUSLY!

Looking at this, I don’t think I’m quite ready to digitize for my system yet. I’ll stick with CD’s for the moment and reorganize them.
Sanity prevails.
