Rip CD’s to ?

Hi everyone. I’m wanting to rip my CD collection to one of the following devices. I am age 63 and not at all interested in using a PC, HTPC etc.

i want ease of use searching title, artist, genre etc.
metadata obtained on each disc via internet.
Im installing soon Kaleidescape for all my DVD’s. I love their GUI. Devices need to rip my CD’s and play back in lossless quality.
devices I am considering:

1. Cocktail Audio X35
2. Blue Sound Vault
3 Roon has a new device but you would have to add an outboard CD drive.
4. Get another K Scape player for only music. While I would get their great interface I don’t think K Scape would rip to lossless format?

Open to suggestions but no computers/keyboards please. Budget is $2500 maybe $3000.
thank you all,
Dave

I agree with @pdreher, the ripped CD’s in Vault sounds flat. Unless you plan to connect Vault to an external DAC for playback I would look elsewhere.  

I use my vault for its ripping and occasional streaming in my second system.  The Vault app is good and easy to use and no issue with metadata. 

I plan to replace my Vault with upcoming Aurender ACS100 for seamless integration with my N10.
