To Stream or Not to Stream

I highly recommend Aurender streamers. I think to combination of the Yggi and the Aurender streamer is a good one. I have two Aurender Streamers 100N and W20SE. 
Personally I recommend not ripping your CDs. I would focus investing in components to maximize the streaming fidelity. I have 2K CDs that are used as acoustic wall diffusers and dust collectors. My CD playback is indistinguishable from streaming. If you get to that point there is no point in spending hundreds of hours ripping disks. Qobuz will open up the world of music far beyond your collection and much of it in higher resolution. 
So my recommendation is to get the best streamer you can afford (Aurender great choice)… having a little local storage on it is OK, but don’t waste money on a ripper. The sound you get will be the result of the streamer and DAC. Yggi is a great value for the money. 
I assume you are using a CD player now with an internal DAC? Or are you using a CD transport and the Yggi?

I don’t feel nostalgic about being freed from listening to what I purchased and physicaly posses. A little time with the freedom from needing to physically possessed music and I started exploring more kinds of music and revisiting music much less frequency. Being physically invested in music causes an unnatural condition of listening to the same stuff over and over… because you own it. 

@mijostyn.  “Streaming is for background music only. In no way shape or form is it ready for serious listening. ”
Like all things in audio, it depends. But if you choose equipment carefully  for high fidelity. That statement is categorically wrong. It was probably true at some point… 10 years ago… 7 years ago. I am not sure… it would be hard to know unless all you did was audio review. Depends on the level of performance and cost. But streaming quality can equal and exceed the sound quality of CD and definitely be well within the audiophile performance envelope.
