Need some guidance with music server and cd ripping.

I know I'm way past the times.  Just curious as to what exactly I need to convert all my CDs to a music server.  I think I find the right product/solution but then second guess myself and get confused reading into it.

At first I thought I just need to go with a box like the Bluesound Vault 2.  And that probably would be fine but then reading into it some review said it is overpriced for what it is and the cd ripper is clunky and slow.  Also that it's just faster to rip CDs using a PC and software and get better sound with a music server and DAC.

So then I look around and see ELAC Discovery Music Server.  Looks to have built in DACs and I just need external storage.  Would that be ideal?  

thanks
