Streamer/CD ripper


I’m looking to upgrade my 25 year old digital front end ( Rotel CD player) to a streamer/CD ripper. How long does it take to rip a full length CD, and how does the sound quality compare playing the file on a streamer versus playing the CD on a CD player?

A cd is not as accurate for it is rotating and harder for the laser to read 

and error correction is used as needed. Good digital cost 💲 monies at least $2k bare minimum. Just for decent Ethernet, fiber optic and or usb cables ,plus 

a good Ethernet hub like the uptone audio ether regen , a very good value for under $650. Good cables can cost well over$1k each then you still have to buy 

a Good dac,streamer  . What is the total budget $5-$10-15 k ?
