Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners?


I want to upgrade my digital side … (currently Bluesound Vault 2i feeding the DAC of Oppo 105) … plan to spend around $2k … since I’ve ripped all my CDs to the Vault, thinking of spending it all on a DAC, and retire/sell the Oppo while it still has some value. I do have a few older CDPs I could retain as backup, but not sure why I would ever need.

Alternatively, was considering a better combined CDP/DAC like a newer Marantz or Yamaha … upgrades DAC performance some, and a reliable spinner for quite a few more years … but I have very few SACDs, so feeling like this would be the tail wagging the dog.

In what direction have you been migrating?

I did just that ripped all my CDs to the Bluesound Vault and gave away my CDs I'm using Ayre Codex Dac upgraded the Bluesound to Aurended N10 and will upgrade my Dac to Aesthtix Pandora I think with the Pandora I will surpass my analog setup 
you don't have to worry about the drive crashing because you back it up on another drive
