You can easily rip cds with a $30-$40 drive and any computer. No need to pay a premium by purchasing an audio with a built in drive.
Streamer Recommendation.
Budget 7000US$. (+/-)
System: Amplification: Luxman L 509X. Speakers: Joseph Audio Perspective. DAC: PS Audio Perfect Wave. CD/SACD PS Audio Perfect Wave. Streamer: BlueSound Node 2.I
I am limited to WiFi, due to my router location. I would like a high quality streamer without DAC that will provide a noticeable improvement over the entry level Node.
Any assistance would be very helpful.
