SREAMING???

Starting to look around for a Hi Rez music server.($2000 or less)
 I'm new to this game and not the best with computers, I have a few questions.
1) All-in-one unit with ripper or rip from PC? ( Only connection to computer is a 50' cat 6 ethernet cable)
2) Will this long cable cause problems with streaming and/or ripping?
3) Is an external hard drive OK for storing music? 
4) Is Tidal the only streaming service that streams in true Hi Rez?
5) Can you download music that is streamed and store it in the streaming unit or external hard drive?
 Interested in the Sony HAPZ1ES. It seems like a pretty solid piece. (Has 1tb of internal storage but would need more eventually - at least 4 to 6 tb)
Also very interested in Roon But not sure how it works or what I need to run that system.
Very open to suggestions for other options.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help😎

Check this mahler123, I moved after my wife’s death from a 13 room farmhouse to an 850 sq ft Condo.
In moving 5 years ago I cut my heard down to about 500 Lp’s and 500 Cd’sfrom about 5,000 which had been 3,000 after I moved back from Germany where it was 7,000 .I now live with about 2,000 and my 850 Condo IS a CD/LP storehouse .
I guess its better than being addicted to drugs .Maybe .

You are correct phillyb !But I continue to foolishly do it because just running my finger down the LP rim of music i love is a joy to me after a hard day .
I mostly listen to Classical Music but others love their genre too .
