Storing Cd's on Hard Disk

Hi,

What kind of quality CD driver is needed to rip CD's to HD?

Does the quality of the driver have an impact on the end result if one is saving in a lossless format?

I have read comments that using the CD driver of a Mac is as good as any CD transport if objective is to rip to HD.

Comments welcomed as intend to load all my CD's to HD in the near future.

Thanks
Tim

Macdadtexas,

Thanks for input.
Agree and I think that the DAC would be Reimyo DAP 999 or similar, will listen to decide.
I have honed the format issue to WAV or AIF.
As you gathered it is the "reader" that has my attention at this time.

Well thanks for the comments, very useful.

What about this configuration :

Mini Mac
Remote iTouch
HD storage 2To (a freind of mine will copy 500Mo of apple lossless music (>80 days...)+ my own CD collection say 400ish.
USB Dac to say wavelength (maybe with silver?)

To replace a Reimyo CDP-777
