Ripping CD's to hard drive


What is the highest quality way to rip a collection of CD's to a hard drive?  Does it require a high-end transport and DAC of some sort?  How have others gone about this when loading their Lumin, Aurender, etc components?

Take any PC, plug in any cd-rom drive. Download dbpoweramp onto your pc. This is an external program that costs a small amount. Plug in a usb hard drive into the pc. Tell dbpoweramp to rip to FLAC standard. Tell dbpoweramp where to store the ripped files (to the usb hard drive you just inserted). Put the cd into the cd drive. Dbpoweramp will identify the album and rip it. 
It is so easy.
